Locusts infected by locusts are different from artificially propagated locusts, and there are a lot of bacteria and parasites in their bodies. Due to 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 and prevent natural enemies.
Locust itself is a high-protein food, and after food processing, this food tastes good and the meat is very crisp. It is suggested to choose artificially cultured turquoise locusts.
What locusts are there in Africa?
The locust plague in Africa is a kind of desert locust, and this kind of desert locust is scattered in a small area. Under suitable weather conditions, including sufficient rainfall, these scattered populations are concentrated in places where they can reproduce successfully, resulting in a large increase in the number of insects, so they are highly mobile and can migrate 1000 km within one week.
Locust disaster refers to the disaster caused by locusts. Once the locust plague occurs, a large number of locusts will devour the fields, which will completely destroy agricultural products and cause serious economic losses, and even famine due to food shortage. Locusts prefer water to depressions. Locusts are often accompanied by severe drought, and they move from arid areas to low-lying and waterlogged areas in droves. There are so-called "drought leads to locusts" and "long-term drought leads to locusts".
