你可知道 ？

When there is a surplus of crops and food, many grasshoppers can feed and breed. Lots of nymphs are born at the same time in the same area, creating a destructive grasshopper outbreak. For some species, if the nymphs stay away from each other, they will grow up into grasshoppers. But when multiple grasshoppers are close together, the smell and sight of other grasshoppers will change them into locusts.
