  in Zsl whipsnade. I have since spoken to them and it appears the correct description is Desert Locust the same as a photograph I previously posted. The zsl sign was misleading but has now been corrected. Posted 10 years ago

    Thanks for the update! Species identification is very important on this site, that's why we will keep insisting whenever it is not filled out :) Posted 10 years ago

      When I tried uploading the original photograph the process stalled and took me back to the jungle. It was only when your message came through that I realised the picture had in fact been successful. Thank you for reminding me about the process of Species identification :) Posted 10 years ago

The Desert Locust

The desert locust is a species of locust. Plagues of desert locusts have threatened agricultural production in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia for centuries. The livelihood of at least one-tenth of the world’s human population can be affected by this voracious insect.
