Migratory locust — size comparison — facts and sources

The migratory locust eats grasses including cereals in open habitats. Behaviour changes with conditions and density: dispersed individuals differ from travelling aggregations.

Nymphs grow through successive moults. Only winged adults can undertake long flights; an individual need not belong to a migrating swarm.
