AFRICAN LOCUSTS IN TENERIFE

“African lobster” is a term that can refer to several species of lobster found on the African continent. Locusts are insects belonging to the order Orthoptera and the family Acrididae. They are known for their ability to form swarms and carry out mass migrations, which can cause serious damage to crops and grasslands.

Some of the best-known locust species in Africa include:

  1. Desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria): This species is famous for forming huge swarms and devastating crop areas in Africa and other regions. It is also known as the “African migratory locust”. Locust outbreaks can be devastating to agriculture.
  2. West African locust (Locusta migratoria migratorioides): It is another species of lobster found in Africa. Like the desert locust, it can swarm and cause damage to crops.
  3. Other species: In addition to those mentioned above, there are many other species of locusts in Africa, some of which can cause significant damage to agriculture and vegetation if they become pests.
