    Abstract

    Locusts are short-horned grasshoppers in the family Acrididae that have a swarming phase. There are 19 locust species in the world and among them the desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria) is the most dangerous. These insects are usually solitary, but under certain circumstances they become more abundant and change their colour, behaviour and habits, becoming gregarious to form swarms. Usually one swarm contains billions of insects per square kilometre which has the capacity to eat everything that falls in its flight path.
