Locust, commonly known as "grasshopper".

1. There are three types of migratory locusts in my country: the East Asian migratory locust, the Asian migratory locust, and the Tibetan migratory locust. Among them, the East Asian migratory locust has the widest distribution range in my country and causes the most serious damage. It is the main type of migratory locust that causes locust plagues in my country. It mainly harms Poaceae plants and is an agricultural pest.

2. Artificially bred East Asian migratory locust species. The East Asian migratory locust has a fast reproduction capacity and grows into an adult in 2 months. In the north, it produces two batches each year, one in May-July and one in July-September. In the southern region, it can produce multiple batches a year. It is advisable to raise locusts in a ventilated and sunny place. Use bamboo strips and bamboo sticks to support a rack, and then cover the whole with locust-specific gauze to prevent the locusts from escaping. The suitable temperature is 25-35 degrees, and the best temperature is 25-28 degrees. If it is too hot, you can provide proper shade. Locusts mainly eat grass with pointed leaves (such as artificially cultivated ryegrass, Mexican corn grass, royal bamboo grass, etc., and wild grasses include reeds, foxtail grass, corn leaves, sorghum leaves...)

3. Locusts do not need to be fed with feed and grain during the breeding process. They mainly need grass to meet their nutritional needs for growth. The most feared thing for locusts is eating grass with pesticides. If they eat poisonous grass, they will die immediately. The density of locust breeding is too high. Locusts will kill each other when they are hungry, especially at noon. If there is no grass in the locust shed, they will kill each other fiercely. They generally do not kill each other at other times. "Dry harvests grasshoppers and floods harvest fish." Locusts do not like it to rain all the time.

4. If it rains for a long time, locusts will not eat because of the humidity and they will starve to death. It is best to pay attention to rain and moisture protection when it rains.

5. In Thailand, there is a booklet called "Eating Insects", one of the dishes is "Locusts Fried with Shrimp". In my country, there is a book called "Edible Insects and Recipes" which also introduces the edible and nutritional aspects of many insects. It clearly states that locusts contain 73.5% protein, 18 kinds of amino acids, and a total content of 20.3%. Locusts also contain vitamins B1, B2, E, A, carotene, and a variety of vitamins, 4 kinds of fatty acids, and rich trace elements. Commonly eaten species include Chinese rice locusts and East Asian migratory locusts.
