"content": "I would like to put a few facts to rest. First of all, mature locusts are yellow, but they are not yet in copulation stage. Copulation means they are not ready to lay eggs. They feed gregariously. A gregarious feeder is one which can feed as much as the body weight in a day. So, if you see a locust that can feed its body weight in a day, it means if you have swarms of kilometres - because we have square kilometres of 15 kilometres by 30 kilometres - that is what we are experiencing. When locusts get bright yellow, that is the signal for copulation or laying eggs. That is the point they will take up to two months to lay eggs. So, we cannot wait for two months for them to die. They will have caused a lot of damage. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
