Here is my recent attempt at breeding locusts.
So, recently I have become fed up at paying £3 for a box of six locusts. So far, I bought a box of adult locusts, which is funny because as I was looking through, I noticed a couple of them mating. So I decided to buy them as I realised I was most likely to actually get something from them. So I bought a cheap gold fish tank and put in sand, twigs, and lots of fruit and veg. Since about a couple hours later of doing this, the male jumped back on the female and they began mating. An hour later, hes went to eat and she was in the corner laying her eggs, as it is true that after copulation, the female will lay her eggs.
Here is a female and male adult locust in copulation.
Here is a 5 instar locust, just one moult away from adult.
