Does the Locust look familiar to you? Well, that's because it belongs to the family of grasshoppers. If you compare how a Locust and grasshopper look, you will realize that Locusts are just short-horned grasshoppers. There are different species of grasshoppers, and a Locust is just one of them. Locusts actually prefer being alone in normal situations. When they are in small numbers, this type of insect is harmless - as harmless as regular grasshoppers. Things are a lot different when Locusts are in abundance. In this case, they will automatically change their behavior and become very destructive. How destructive? Well, destructive enough to damage crops and cause hunger issues for people. Ready to learn more about the Locust? Have a copy of this book and learn more about this interesting animal of nature.

Just the mention of locusts can strike fear into the heart of a farmer. Locust plagues wreak havoc on crops and have been the cause of millions of people going hungry. This book examines the life of a locust and what happens to cause a swarm to form. Locust swarms can contain trillions of insects and cover hundreds of miles of land, so locust control is essential to countries dependent on crops. This book offers both historical and scientific information on locusts and impresses just how detrimental these creatures can be.
