- For farmers, locusts are the most destructive of insects. They feed voraciously on almost all types of crops; a large swarm can eat as much as about 35,000 people in one day. Locusts also breed rapidly, with a single female desert locust laying 60-80 eggs thrice during its roughly 90-day life cycle. With such aggressive growth, one square kilometer of land could hold up to 40-80 million of these insects. They also travel great distances, covering up to 150 km daily.
