How to feed locusts in summer

The locusts are divided into two main life stages: the summer harem and the autumn falcon. From early May to mid-July, they grow into nymphs, lay their eggs in the shed, and complete the first generation. Then, between July 15th and 25th, the second generation—known as the "Autumn Grasshopper"—naturally emerges from the ground and remains active until early September. These locusts then burrow into the soil, lay their eggs, and die off, allowing the eggs to survive the winter naturally. As temperatures rise again in May, the eggs hatch, and the young locusts emerge from the ground. Aphids are most active between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., feeding two to three times daily. When feeding, it's important to evenly distribute the forage within the shed to ensure all locusts have access. During rainy weather, it’s essential to cover the breeding area, as excessive moisture can be fatal to the locusts if they don't have enough food to eat. The ideal density for raising locusts is typically 600 to 800 per square meter. It's also recommended to maintain a balance in the feed—stronger food for larger locusts, smaller portions for younger ones, and ensuring no one goes hungry. When summer temperatures exceed 35°C, it's crucial to provide shade for the breeding sheds and mist the gauze nets or structures with water to keep the environment moist. If the shed becomes too dry, the locusts may suffer dehydration and die. Additionally, if a locust consumes poisoned vegetation, it will die almost immediately. Therefore, it's always safer to wash any unknown forage before feeding it to the locusts. The entire life cycle of a locust lasts approximately 75 days. After laying eggs, the female nymphs will naturally die, and similarly, male crickets will pass away after mating. This natural cycle ensures the continuation of the species while maintaining population control.
