The Desert Locust is one of about a dozen species of short-horned grasshoppers (Acridoidea) that are known to change their behavior and form swarms of adults or bands of hoppers (wingless nymphs). The swarms that form can be dense and highly mobile. The Latin name for Desert Locust is Schistocerca gregaria (Forskal). See similar questions...

We call more than one recipe for the same dish a collection and we mark them in a special way: It should be followed with the word Collection and the number of recipes. An example: We do this since many people do not want collections and kill them unread. If you object to collections, please do not read them. Some newsreaders have limitations on the size of a single post. See similar questions...

These are the "old" USDA recipes which were replaced by USDA in July 2006. There is likely another recipe with the same name, that has "USDA" next to it, and the recipe number starts with a "5". This is the new replacement recipe number. When you run the CD, if it finds an "old" recipe on one of your menus, it keeps it and also adds the new one. You can easily replace old ones with new ones by choosing "Search and Replace Menu Item" from the "Menus" tab. See similar questions...

We review virtually hundreds of recipes and test at least four recipes for every one that makes it to our menu. This process is a full time job and we have a separate kitchen fully dedicated to this activity. Recipes are one of our most important intellectual properties. Just like a trade mark, patent, business formula or trading policy, it is something that remains guarded and protected. As such, we regret that we See similar questions...

During quiet periods (known as recessions) Desert Locusts are usually restricted to the semi-arid and arid deserts of Africa, the Near East and South-West Asia that receive less than 200 mm of rain annually. This is an area of about 16 million square kilometres, consisting of about 30 countries. During plagues, Desert Locusts may spread over an enormous area of some 29 million square kilometres, extending over or into parts of 60 countries. See similar questions...

A Desert Locust adult can consume roughly its own weight in fresh food per day, that is about two grams every day. A very small part of an average swarm (or about one tonne of locusts) eats the same amount of food in one day as about 10 elephants or 25 camels or 2,500 people. See similar questions...

Locust survey and control are primarily the responsibility of the Ministry of Agriculture in locust affected countries and are operations undertaken by national locust units.

During times of outbreaks and plagues, external assistance from the donor community and other international organizations is usually required. See similar questions...

In general, locusts, grasshoppers and cockroaches are common insect allergens. Locust pheromones or hormones produced during mating, in combination with scales that come off the wings and cuticle of the locust, increased amounts of dust in the air and perhaps other chemicals (such as phenols that are released from the breakdown of vegetation), can act as allergens to humans and trigger allergic reactions primarily in people already susceptible to asthma.
