INFORMATION CORE FOR SOUTHERN AFRICAN MIGRANT PESTS
ICOSAMP is a migratory pest information system for 13 SADC countries
The major migrant agricultural pests in southern Africa are the African Armyworm (Spodoptera exempta), four species of locusts (red locust, brown locust, African migratory locust, and desert locust), and Red-Billed Quelea birds (Quelea quelea)
