Locusts plagued by locusts are different from artificially propagated locusts, and there are a lot of bacteria and parasites in their bodies. Because of the plague of locusts, locusts will collide with each other during the flight, and hydrocyanic acid will be secreted in the body, which will cause physical discomfort after eating. When locusts disperse, their bodies are blue-green, but when they gather together, they turn brown, and hydrocyanic acid is produced in their bodies to protect themselves from natural enemies.
Locust itself is a kind of high-protein food. After food processing, this food tastes good and its meat is very crisp. It is suggested to choose artificially cultured turquoise locusts.
What locusts are there in Africa?
The locust plague in Africa belongs to a kind of desert locust, which is scattered in a small area. Under suitable weather conditions, including sufficient rainfall, these scattered populations are concentrated in places where they can successfully breed, resulting in a large increase in the number of insects, so they are highly mobile and can migrate 1000 km a week.
Locust disaster refers to the catastrophe caused by locusts. Once a locust plague occurs, a large number of locusts will devour fields, completely destroy agricultural products, cause serious economic losses, and even cause famine due to food shortage. Locusts prefer water to depression, and locust disasters are often accompanied by severe drought, and they move in droves from arid areas to low-lying and waterlogged areas. There are so-called "dry locusts" and "long drought locusts".
