Description
Desert Locust (Schistocerca gregaria) nymphPlagues of the Desert Locust (Schistocerca gregaria) have threatened agricultural production in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia for centuries. The livelihood of at least one-tenth of the worldβs human population can be affected by this voracious insect. The Desert Locust is potentially the most dangerous of the locust pests because of the ability of swarms to fly rapidly across great distances. It has two to five generations per year. While the Desert Locust alone is not responsible for famines, it can be an important contributing factor.

It looks dangerous actually. Really well done picture, though the idea of a famine is sobering.Β

This is something to remember. A great and memorable addition to beauty within.
Some people say a picture is worth a thousand words. I believe there is no ammount of words to descibe
true beauty and composition. Detail in it's truest form; lies not in thy heart but in thine eyes.
The detail and it's memorable captions, reminds people of what life looks like, and can feel the pure ingenuity
and imagination like the innocence of a child. I applaud to this moment and commend the effort.
Impressed is not enough to describe the shock and sometimes awe that sometimes, somewhere,
someone finds theirselves deep within a beautiful experience. So I leave you now with a standing
ovation and give you only one piece of advise. Stay true stay well and never give up.
We must overcome the notion that we must be regular... it robs you of the chance to be extraordinary and leads you to the mediocre.

Fastastic shot! And a handsome critter, though after reading about them, I'm very glad I don't live where they do.
