Locusts are a subgroup of short-horned grasshoppers belonging to the family Acrididae. They are known for their ability to change behavior and physiology in response to population density, which can lead to swarming behavior that causes significant agricultural damage. When in swarming phase, locusts can travel long distances and consume vast amounts of vegetation, impacting ecosystems and human livelihoods. The most well-known species include the desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria) and the migratory locust (Locusta migratoria).
