introduction to the wood locust
The Wood Locust (Valanga nigricornis) is perched on a palm tree branch. One of the wild insect species that coexist with humans in settlements and agricultural fields. It has an ecological role to control plant populations and prey for insectivorous animals, as well as a biological role as soil fertilizer through its feces (frass). If the Wood Locust population is out of control, it can become a pest in agricultural fields.
In the maintenance of Leopard Gecko, it is forbidden to use wild insects from nature as feed, because they are prone to being polluted by pesticides, carrying parasites, and potentially toxic such as the deadly Devil's Locust (Aularches miliaris). To get to know various species of wild insects in nature, you can read the Mini Encyclopedia of Insects by Dayu Pratyahara, published by Indopublika in 2018.
