Desert locusts (Shistocerca gregaria) only do two things 🤷‍♂️

I feed them alive to my animals.
I have also tried freeze-dried grasshoppers myself. Tasted a little like sunflower seeds. Did you ever eat insects and did you like it? 😋

Desert locust nymph (Shistocerca gregaria) in gregarious phase. An impressive and very interesting species. In phases, they are able to migrate in swarms up to 50 million individuals! They are probably the most dangerous migratory locusts, because they can cover very large distances. The spread and swarm formation is closely monitored because of the economic importance of the species to start early control measures. Their high reproduction rate makes them very interesting for feed breeders. Sometimes they are also on the menu of my geckos. I wanted to breed them by myself, but who eats a lot, sh*ts a lot! The strong and spicy stench was unbearable!
