As you all know there are heaps about at the moment and they are busily laying eggs right now now the ground is a bit softer and the grass is starting to grow again. Milder climates to here are in line for a locust plague with these conditions persist. 

We know they are fast on the take off, however you can see this process here in a composite photo I just done of one on lift off in Mulligans flat.  0.033 of a second between each locust image.


Enjoy

David
