Egyptian Locusts, unlike their cousins \u200b\u200bare very good fliers. Other grasshoppers and locusts do not usually have enough wings developed to maintain a steady flight. Only when they form large groups of the same species, they release pheromones to enable appropriate development in the migratory behavior and growth over the wings and so can spread to other territories in search of food.
