Desert locusts are highly destructive insects that cause widespread damage to crop and vegetation. They cause a significant threat to food security due to their ability to reproduce quickly and form massive swarms, which move up to 200 kilometers a day and can cover vast areas, consuming the equivalent of food for tens of thousands of people in a single day. Efforts to control desert locusts involve monitoring and early warning systems (early detection), which are considered the most essential foundations of preventive control strategy along with early action.
