The locust is classeed as a migratory
INSECT of the short-horned GRASSHOPPER
family. Locust migration is an occasional
event. Under certain environmental
conditions, which also lead to population
increases, young locusts develop into a
short-winged migratory locust, and gather
in huge swarms, and at maturity take to the
air. The swarms can include more than
100 billion insects. When they finally
settle, the resulting agricultural
devastation is enormous.
