3. Why do locusts lay eggs in dry soil?

Soil that is relatively solid and contains less water is suitable for locusts to lay eggs. Plants grown in arid environments have low water content, and locusts grow fast after feeding on them, and have strong reproductive capacity.

4. When locusts are laying eggs, should we sprinkle some water on the ground?

No, locusts usually lay eggs on clean hard ground. If you are engaged in breeding, when the locusts lay eggs, you just need to clean the ground of the ideal egg-laying area.

5. The locusts I raise lay eggs on the ground. What is the reason and what can I do?

This problem may occur if the soil is too dry or too hard, or if it is the first time for the female insect to lay eggs. If it is an isolated case, you don't need to worry. If it is a batch problem, I have the following suggestions:

1. When locusts lay eggs, different breeding cages need to prepare sand boxes. The sand in the sand box can be ordinary river sand or fine sand used for construction;

2. The sand in the sandbox should have a certain humidity, which is similar to the feeling of the sand by the river after the rain. You can go to the river to feel it, or there are drainage holes under the sandbox, so that more water will naturally leak out.

3. A sand box that is too dry or too wet will reduce the hatching rate of locust eggs. If it is too wet, the eggs will rot, and if it is too dry, they will die. Therefore, humidity is very important and also affects whether female locusts are willing to lay eggs in the sand box.

The above answers are all personal experience, welcome to ask

6. How to dig locust eggs out of the soil

Locusts dig holes in the soil to lay eggs, so to prevent and control locust plagues, you need to spread pesticides in the soil to kill them in their cradle. Once the locust swarms take to the sky, nothing can stop them.
