The grouse locusts are very much inter-related with the plants. The paper discusses interection of these insects with plants and the effect has been studied in laboratory experiments and found some mosses, fungi, algae, Oriza sativa (Paddy) and some sprouting cereals act as common feed. The structural modifications in their mandibles are specialized to make them functional with the type of feed they take.

Abstract


The grouse locusts are very much inter-related with the plants. The paper discusses interection of these insects with plants and the effect has been studied in laboratory experiments and found some mosses, fungi, algae, Oriza sativa (Paddy) and some sprouting cereals act as common feed. The structural modifications in their mandibles are specialized to make them functional with the type of feed they take.
