What is the effect of exoskeleton on insects?
An exoskeleton functions as an insect's skeletal system. Unlike humans who have a skeletal structure on the inside, insects have theirs on the outside. (Exo- Greek for outside, external)
This limits how large insects can get (thank goodness) so, unlike mammals, reptiles and other creatures that have an internal skeletal system, insects can only grow to a certain size due to gravity. The bigger something gets, the more gravity is being exerted on it, so theoretically insects would cave in on themselves if they got too big. This is why lobsters, crabs, and other crustaceans are larger than an average beetle because being underwater allows their exoskeletons to grow a little bit more.

Locusts are large grasshopper-like insects. They vary in colour depending on the species - normally brown in colour.
Like true insects they have 3 pairs of legs, the hind legs being the largest and are used for jumping. They have two pairs of wings, the outer pair being harder and used to control flight, while the lower pair are more membranous and are used for flight.
Locusts normally solitary, but become gregarious under favourable conditions and will swarm. Swarms of locusts (millions of individuals) are a serious pest during certain years particularly in Africa and Australia where they can literally decimate and entire field to the ground within an hour.
