Migratory locust Female migratory locust Scientific classification Kingdom:Animalia Phylum:Arthropoda Class:Insecta Order:Orthoptera Suborder:Caelifera Family:Acrididae Subfamily:Oedipodinae Genus: Locusta Species: L. migratoria Binomial name Locusta migratoria (Linnaeus, 1758) Synonyms Acridium migratorium Acridium plorans Pachytylus australis Saussure, 1884 Pachytylus migratorius (Linnaeus, 1758 Pachytylus migratorioides (Fairmaire & L.J. Reiche, 1849) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The migratory locust (Locusta migratoria ) is the most widespread locust species, and the only species in the genus Locusta . It occurs throughout Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. It used to be common in Europe but has now become rare there. Because of the vast geographic area it occupies, which comprises many different ecological zones, numerous subspecies have been described. However, not all experts agree on the validity of some of these subspecies. Many other species of Orthoptera with gregarious and possibly migratory behaviour are referred to as ‘locusts’ in the vernacular, including the widely distributed desert locust. 1 Polyphenism 2 Relationship with humans 2.1 Economic impact 2.2 Edibility 3 Subspecies of Locusta migratoria 4 Other species called ‘locusts’ 5 See also 6 Footnotes 7 References 8 External links The migratory locust is polyphenic. It transitions between two main phenotypes in response to population density; the solitary phase and the gregarious phase. As the density of the population increases the locust transforms progressively from the solitary phase towards the gregarious phase with intermediate phases: Solitaire = solitary phase transiens congregans (intermediate form) gregarious phase transiens dissocians (intermediate form) solitaire = solitary phase. Pigmentation and size of the migratory locust vary according to its phase (gregarious or solitary form) and its age. Gregarious larvae have a yellow to orange covering with black spots; solitary larvae are green or brown. The gregarious adult is brownish with yellow, the latter colour becoming more intense and extensive on maturation. The solitary adult is brown with varying extent Migratory locust – Wikipedia, the free encyclopediahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migratory_locus t1 of 4 10.5.2015. 20:52
