Question -   Have you any information on the affects of
temperature on  the growth rates of captive or wild locusts?  I have a 17
year old student wishing to develop an short project on the
subject.  We have facilties to keep a limited number of locusts in a variety
of temperatures.


Basic rule ...for every 10 degrees C rise there will be a doubling of the
reaction rate...other than that I can't help u
