1. Site selection: It is appropriate to choose a place with adequate ventilation and sunshine.
2. Eliminate natural enemies: before building the shed, eliminate ants and moles on the ground by catching, trapping and boiling water. Because these animals are natural enemies of locusts, they can prey on locusts and destroy their eggs, so they must not be allowed to exist in the shed.
3. The ground of the shed is 10- 15cm higher than the surrounding ground, so as to facilitate drainage in rainy season. It is best to use sandy loam, which is not easy to agglomerate, easy to lay eggs and take eggs, and the load should not be too soft, so locusts have high requirements for laying eggs.
4. There should be corn and other higher plants isolated in the shed.

Life habits of locusts:
1. The starting temperature range of locust development is 20-42 degrees, the suitable development temperature is 25-40 degrees, and the optimum temperature is 28-35 degrees. When the relative humidity is 85%-92% or the soil water content is 15- 18%, the suitable development temperature is 25-32 degrees, and the natural temperature in northern China will reach in early May. After buying the eggs, put the locust eggs directly in the soil and let them hatch naturally. After 10- 15 days of incubation, all the locusts hatched. Locusts eat less and are weak, so they should be protected from rain.
2. The lowest incubation temperature of seed eggs is 17℃, the suitable development temperature is between 26℃ and 32℃, and the soil water content is 18-22%, so the hatching rate is the highest. From 8: 00 a.m. to 1: 00 p.m., it usually takes 50-60 minutes for the whole egg piece to hatch ... In the process of hatching, there are also successive excavation points.
3. The growth of locusts depends on molting. When they grow to a certain length and need to shed their skin, they stop eating. Hanging upside down and peeling the body. You can eat it in an hour. Locusts molt once every 5-7 days after spawning, and the strong molting blocks are weak and slow, and molting is one year old at a time. It takes five molts from hatching to adulthood to become an adult.
