Swarms of locust cause problems for farmers because they eat the crops and this causes them to lose a lot of money.
The name locust refers to a type of grasshopper that forms swarms and can cause significant damage to crops and vegetation. It is also used metaphorically to describe a person or situation that is destructive or overwhelming.
They are common called locusts ( family Acrididae.) Some species areDesert Locust is Schistocerca gregaria (Forskal).African Migratory Locust (Locusta migratoria migratorioides) - Africa;Oriental Migratory Locust (Locusta migratoria manilensis) - South-East Asia;Red Locust (Nomadacris septemfasciata) - Eastern Africa;Brown Locust (Locustana pardalina) - Southern Africa;Italian Locust (Calliptamus italicus), from western Europe to Central Asia;Moroccan Locust (Dociostaurus maroccanus) - North-West Africa to Asia;Bombay Locust (Nomadacris succincta) - South-West to South-East Asia;Australian Plague Locust (Chortoicetes terminifera) - Australia;Tree Locusts (Anacridium sp.) - Africa, Mediterranean, Near East.
Locust
It's not what they do so much as the harm they passively cause. Grasshopper grubs feed in the soil like other grubs. It's only when they feed on the roots of locust plants that they reproduce rapidly and become gregarious and predatory. When this happens they fly around in huge swarms and eat everything they land on. This is even mentioned several times in the Bible.
No, however they do damage fences which can cause problems for farmers as the farm animals can escape
Small Farmers, cause Alexander Hamilton's policy supported big business owners :P
A female grasshopper is a called a female grasshopper. Thank you. Please hold the applause.
There is no such thing, as a number plants contain toxins/repellents to naturally protect from any (or at least most) pests. Locusts are known for destroying large areas of crops in massive swarms and far as I know are one of the top candidates for describing what you are asking (if I'm understanding the question that is).
A locust is actually involve when grasshoppers group together and they irritate each other leg and which cause this change.They can be very big and locust attack farms in a big group. When they lay they egg, it is similar to the way grasshoppers do but instead of just leave they egg in the burrow,they inject a chemical which cause them to grow into locust instead of grasshopper. They start from very small yellow locust then they start to grow wings and become pink than later to adult locust which this cycle then continues.
Yes, locust trees can cause allergic reactions in some individuals. The pollen from locust trees, particularly from the black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), can trigger allergic responses in susceptible people, leading to symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes. Additionally, contact with the tree's sap or leaves may cause skin irritation for some individuals. If you suspect an allergy, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management.
Because they thought that NAFTA would cause economical problems.
The tree and grasshopper that share the same name are both called "locust." This can sometimes cause confusion, as the word "locust" refers to both a type of tree in the pea family and a type of grasshopper known for their swarming behavior.
