Locusts

Locusts are a type of grasshopper known for their ability to form large swarms that can devastate crops and vegetation. Under certain environmental conditions, such as increased moisture and food availability, locust populations can change behavior, becoming more aggressive and social. This swarming phenomenon can lead to migrations over long distances, where they consume vast amounts of plant life, impacting food supplies and ecosystems. Locust swarms can be a significant threat to agriculture, causing economic hardship in affected regions. Control measures often involve monitoring and targeted pesticides to manage their populations.
