"Hungry Locust" is a small creature unique to the habitat of all animals. They are divided into two types, one is 35.5-41.5 mm long, and the other is 39.5-51.2 mm.
The first kind of "hungry locust" is usually emerald green or yellowish brown, with a vertical face and light yellow antennae. The antennae are like woven down and can identify the direction. The compound eyes are located on the top of the head, one on each side of the left and right sides, and are composed of many small eyes.
, is the main visual organ. One eye is located between the compound eye and the antennae, and one eye is located in the upper center of the front of the head, forming an inverted isosceles triangle with the other two eyes. The single eye can only sense light.
Its feeding organ consists of five parts, including one upper lip, one lower lip, two upper and lower jaws, and one tongue. The upper jaw is very hard and can easily cut and chew plant stems and leaves.
They each have a pair of feet on their front, middle and back chest, which are called front feet, middle feet and hind feet respectively. The feet are segmented, and the hind feet are well developed and suitable for jumping, which are called jumping feet.
The midline of the pronotum is well developed, the scattered type is slightly arc-shaped when viewed from the side, and the group type is slightly concave, with dark vertical stripes often appearing on both sides.
There are a pair of wings, forewings and hindwings, on the mesothorax and metathorax. The forewings are long and narrow, leathery, and cover the hind wings. Most of them exceed the middle part of the tibia of the hind legs, with brown and dark markings, and the group pattern is deeper.
Protective effect; the hind wings are broad, membranous, soft, colorless and transparent, often folded under the forewings and unfolded during flight, making them an organ suitable for flying.
The abdomen is composed of eleven body segments. On both sides of the first segment of the abdomen, there is a half-moon-shaped membrane, which is the locust's hearing organ.
In the locust, there is a small hole on each side of the mesothorax, metathorax and abdomen from the first to the eighth section. These small holes are called spiracles, and there are ten pairs in total. The spiracles are the portals for gas to enter and exit the locust's body, and
Gas exchange is completed through the trachea and tissue cells.
The second kind of "hungry locust" has a dark body, huge dorsal wings and numerous barbs. Their mouthparts are strong and powerful, and they can be said to eat everything except masonry and steel.
food.
If the first type of "hungry locust" is the mob that sweeps away the habitats of all animals, then the second type of "hungry locust" is the mother of these mobs.
Because the only purpose of the second type of "hungry locust" is to lay eggs regularly to continue the offspring. Those yellow-brown egg masses are long cylindrical, about 45-61 mm, slightly curved in the middle, and slightly thinner at the upper part. The upper part is one-fifth
It is a sponge-like colloid, containing no eggs; the lower part is a chamber for storing eggs, with colloid adhesion between the eggs.
Each egg mass contains 50-80 eggs, up to 200 eggs, arranged diagonally in 4-6 rows. The eggs are cone-shaped, slightly curved, about 6.5 mm long and 1.6 mm wide.
The nymphs hatched from them are called "locusts" by the orcs. These "locusts" are further subdivided into five instars. The body length of the fifth-instar locust is about 26-46 mm, and the antennae are about 24-25 segments. The pronotum is
The trailing edge extends backward to cover the middle and back of the metathorax. The forewing buds are as long as the 4th and 5th segments of the abdomen. The forewing buds are narrow and long and are covered by the hindwing buds, and the wing tips point backward.
They have the same feeding habits as adults, and are omnivorous organisms, and because they need to supplement a lot of nutrients during the adult stage, their food intake accounts for more than 75% of their total food intake in their lifetime.
In the nymphal stage, the second type of "hungry locust" eats for more than 16 hours a day. However, a large amount of food is excreted from the body before it is fully digested. They do this only to get water from the food and supply physiological metabolic needs.
.But this makes the habitat of all animals even worse.
"Hungry Locusts" lurk at night and emerge during the day, with no obvious phototaxis. They swarm, lie dormant, and then migrate in a specific direction, leaving no grass growing anywhere they pass. As for the egg masses laid by the second type of "Hungry Locust",
Then the first type is carried on the back, and will be regarded as rations when necessary.
Rice, vegetables, fruits, leaves, flowers, vines, even small herds of animals and mercenaries who died in the wilderness, as long as they can be chewed, are all food for the "hungry locusts".
And after hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, they have now undergone qualitative changes. This is the reason why all animals in the habitat are frightened by the news, and the reason why the deer people feel like they are facing a formidable enemy.
Today's "Hungry Locusts" are not afraid of spells or fighting spirit attacks below the mid-level, and many of the first "Hungry Locusts" can launch a once-in-a-lifetime attack through self-destruction.
As for the second kind of "hungry locusts", they can use their strong mouthparts to eat the magic barrier. But fortunately, they have low intelligence and have never teamed up to break through. Otherwise, the habitat of all beasts would have been razed to the ground long ago. "The above is the general situation of these 'Hungry Locusts', so I would say that we'd better be careful. If they break through the magic barrier, then we'd better choose to leave the Ten Thousand Beasts Habitat Camp directly."
As Christine spoke, she waved to Perseus. Perseus saw this without any hesitation and immediately stood in front of the other party.
"Your so-called 'hanging tree tree house' should have a second purpose. Can you omit the three-story structure tonight and just completely wrap the wonder house?"
It can be said that Christine is the person who knows Perseus best besides Rikka, and there is also a mentor-apprentice relationship between the two, so Christine has this speculation.
"It should work. Although I have never done that, if the three-story structure is cancelled, the magic power is probably enough to wrap the Wonder House."
Perseus nodded when he heard this, and then turned to look at Rikka. Because in Perseus's eyes, although Christine was one of his own, he would only obey Rikka's orders.
"What are you doing? Just do whatever Sister Christine tells you to do. You'll be stupid all day long." Rikka rolled her eyes when she saw this, and then continued to read romance novels. She didn't care about those bugs.
Not to mention whether the Ten Thousand Beasts Habitat camp can survive this disaster by luck in the end.
"Here are five high-grade magic crystals. If they are not enough, ask for them again. You must protect the Wonder House." Boom threw a cloth bag to Perseus and said softly.
The four Booms here have determined their countermeasures, but at this moment in the center of the Ten Thousand Beasts' Habitat camp, the deer psychics and foreign magicians are panting from exhaustion.
I saw that millions of "hungry locusts" had landed one after another. The first type continued to attack the magic barrier through self-destruction, and the second type was also opening and closing its strong mouthparts, eating bit by bit the psychic shield.<
/p>
"Those who have exhausted their spiritual energy will rest where they are. Those who have exhausted their magic power will come to me to receive the magic crystals. The next group of people will take their places!"
"Bring the food and let's make dinner quickly during the break. I have asked Wudun City for help. We only need to wait for two more days!"
"Notify everyone in the camp that in order to save spiritual energy consumption, the shield will shrink in two hours. Tell them to quickly pack up their important belongings and gather in the central area."
Watson, the leader of the Deer Tribe, issued orders in an orderly manner, but he was also very anxious at the moment, because this time the number of "hungry locusts" was three times that of the previous one, and they seemed to be even more manic.
"Is it because of something or someone that they are so abnormal? No, not even the big leader Luca can do this kind of thing."
Watson shuddered for no reason, and then turned his attention to the camping ground where the foreigners were, or in the direction of the Wonder House. However, he shook his head half a second later, denying his conjecture.<
