Locust Watch
Locusts in Caucasus and Central Asia

No. 86 Winter 2022/2023

Published: 31/01/2023

Natural cycles of the three locust species – Moroccan Locust (DMA), Italian Locust (CIT) and Migratory Locust (LMI) – ended in late summer/early autumn in all countries with eggs laid in the soil, where they overwinter (embryonic diapause).  During the forecast period, no hatching of all these three species are expected.
