Locusts are terrifying, particularly when they are swarming. Their ability to decimate the agricultural output of a region has been shown time and again.

One aspect of their "gregarious" swarming phase is their competitive cannibalism of each other.

Now, scientists have genetically identified the pheromone compound used to prevent this, possibly opening new control methods.

Fine young cannibals: study could lead to better
Discovery of ‘anti-cannibalism’ raises possibility of spraying with similar chemical as non-toxic
Or “you could get the locusts to behave more cannibalistically and potentially control themselves in that way,” said Bill Hansson, the director of the Department of Evolutionary Neuroethology at the Max Planck Institute and senior author of the research.

RT @CBehav
The @UniKonstanz is abuzz with the sound of 60k feet. More than 4k locusts have been tagged with reflective markers for tracking with the Motion Capture System. Researchers from @CBehav and @MPI_animalbehav aim to understand the behaviour of locust swarms.

One thing I love about the countryside is the wide range of fauna. Today I spent a lot of time gardening, and made some insect friends along the way.

Today I saw an Egyptian Locust, a Drone Fly (which I thought was a bee) and some kind of Ground Beetle - if anyone’s knows specifically I’d love to learn what, Carabus Coriaceus?

AAAS: "Gregarious ribosomes in gregarious locusts" A single locust looks + behaves like any other grasshopper, camouflaged + hopping about to find sustenance. But when forced together by food shortage, they become colorful + attracted to each other. Imagine here kids starting school in the fall. Many changes take place in the behavioral + morphologic transition to the locust swarms which can blacken skies + obliterate crops. Li et al. in their study showed many more ribosomes latch onto messenger RNA in the cells, reading the genetic code + assembling amino acids into proteins. "It appears that protein synthesis has to be ratcheted up in gregarious forms to meet the greater demand for proteins to sustain their highly migratory and aggressive lifestyle." They may be good looking, but when they fall on crops in Africa it truly must feel like a biblical plague. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 120, e2216851120 (2023).

A few weeks ago brought home a . At the time, I thought it was just a weird looking grasshopper, so rescued and released it. I've since looked it up and learnt there are locusts in NZ...who knew?
Anyhoo, my question is....what constitutes a in Aotearoa? Is it one? If so, I apologise for not letting you all know earlier!

How to replace Guar gum flour for stickiness with something more available?

In particular in . I asume , bean gum and gum flour are all equally difficult to get.



What else can I take for ?

No Agar Agar! That's too gel like.

I had to do a little load testing today in preparation for a server move. After a quick sweep of the available tools, I found locust.io/ to be really easy to set up and use. Learning Python for my course has its benefits!

Just photographed this, what looks like a large locust, or katydid resting on our kitchen window, here in Melbourne Australia just after midnight.
A reasonable sized insect, but I was amazed by the length of its antennae so, in one of the photos, I have held a ruler up to it. Graduated in centimetres.
Does anybody know what this is?
Cheers.
