– By rubbing legs and wings against their body, locusts make a humming sound. They can hear this hum and a range of other sounds through ears on their abdomens.

– Adults grow to 7 cm (3 in) long, eating the equivalent of their own weight in a day.

– They can fly for 15 hours at a time. When a lot of locusts come together, they change color and form a swarm that can be miles wide, blotting out the sun and devouring every plant in its path.
