Locusts are very temperamental insects. At times they like to just be by themselves. Other times, they hanging out with friends and seeing the world. These trips can cover large areas, even thousands of miles. But don't worry, locusts have plenty of friends to keep them company, swarms of up to 80 million locusts in a square kilometer.

When locusts are on the move no food is safe from them. Just a small group of locust can eat the same amount of food in one day as 2,500 people can eat.

The only way to control locusts is to spray them with an insecticide before they reach your home.
