How to feed locusts in summer
The locusts are divided into two main generations: the summer harem and the autumn falcon. From early May to mid-July, they develop into nymphs and lay their eggs in the shed, completing the first generation. Between July 15th and 25th, the second generation emerges naturally as "autumn grasshoppers" and continue to grow until early September. After laying their eggs in the soil, the adults die off, allowing the eggs to survive the winter naturally. When temperatures rise again in early May, the eggs hatch, and the young locusts emerge from the ground.
Aphids should be fed between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., ideally 2 to 3 times daily. When feeding, make sure to spread the forage evenly within the enclosure. During rainy weather, it's important to cover the breeding area, as excessive moisture can lead to the death of the locusts if they cannot eat properly. The recommended density for raising locusts is around 600 to 800 per square meter. It's best to maintain a higher density with strong food, ensuring that the weaker individuals don't get eaten by the stronger ones.
When summer temperatures exceed 35°C, it's essential to provide shade for the breeding sheds and mist the gauze nets or structures to keep the environment moist. If the shed becomes too dry, the locusts may die due to dehydration. Additionally, if a locust consumes poisoned vegetation, it will die almost immediately. Therefore, if you're unsure about the safety of the forage, it's advisable to wash it thoroughly before feeding. The complete life cycle of a locust lasts approximately 75 days. After laying eggs, the female nymphs typically die naturally, while the males pass away after mating. This natural cycle ensures the continuation of the species throughout the seasons.
