| | Locust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Recent research suggests that the breeding grounds of this insect, in the valleys of the Rocky Mountains, came under sustained agriculture, destroying the underground eggs of the locust. | | | The swarm descended upon her family's farm near Walnut Grove, Minnesota, destroying a year's wheat crop, and stripping the prairie bare of all vegetation. | | | The extinction of the Rocky Mountain locust has been a source of puzzlement. |

| | LOCUST - LoveToKnow Article on LOCUST |
| | In Europe by a locust is meant an insect of large size, the smaller allied species being ordinarily known as grasshoppers, hence the Rocky Mountain locust of North America is to Eastern ideas rathe-r a grasshopper than a locust. | | | The Rocky Mountain locust of North America is Caloptenus spretus, and in that continent there occurs an Acridiuin (A. americanum) so closely allied to A. peregrinum as to be scarcely distinct therefrom, though there it does not manifest migratory tendencies. | | | These practically include all the locusts of the Old World, though a migratory species of South Africa known as Pack ytylus pardalinus (presumed to be distinct from P. niigratorius) should be mentioned. |

| | The female locust, by means of the ovipositor at the end of her abdomen, digs a hole in the ground, and deposits in it a mass of eggs, which are cemented together with a glandular secretion. | | | In the light of this it is not incredible that the food of John the Baptist should have been "locusts and wild honey" (Matthew 3:4). | | | It may be noted that the insect known in America as the seventeen-year locust, which occasionally does extensive damage to trees by laying its eggs in the twigs, is a totally different insect, being a Cicada of the order Rhynchota. |

| | Showler: The Desert Locust in Africa and Western Asia |
| | During plagues, locust swarms and bands are found on an interregional scale and originate from a number of breeding areas as part of a widespread but interrelated locust breeding and migrating dynamic that can continue for years (Showler 1995b). | | | Normally, the desert locust is a solitary insect that occurs in desert and scrub regions of northern Africa, the Sahel (region including the countries of Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, and Niger), the Arabian Peninsula (e.g., Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman), and parts of Asia to western India (Steedman 1988). | | | Ideally, locust control should occur at or prior to the onset of gregarious behavior when locusts, preferably in the less mobile and nonreproductive nymphal stage, have amassed in small patches no more than several square meters in diameter in breeding areas. |

| | Locusts are a perennial pest in Afghanistan where the vast explosion of their numbers in 2000/2001 posed a very real threat in a country for which agriculture provides more than 51 per cent of the gross domestic product and employs over 80 per cent of the labour force. | | | While some control will be necessary in 2006 to prevent reinvasion of cultivated areas, it will not need to be extensive as the country's locust population has been drastically reduced from 2002 levels, he added. | | | – The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has helped Afghanistan clear locusts from cultivated areas in the agriculture-dependent country, where an explosion in numbers of the crop-devouring insects of plague proportions four years ago has posed a clear and present danger. |
