Abstract
Aim. The aim of the work is to determine the duration of development of locust larvae in the Karachay-Cherkess Republic for 2014-2015. Materials and methods. Five model species of locusts served as an object of the study: Omocestus haemorrhoidalis Ch., Chorthippus albomarginatus Deg., Chorthippus bigutullus L., Chorthippus apricarius L., Chorthippus mollis Ch. Were used traditional methods of catching and registering locusts. Findings. The average duration of development of the locust larvae of the investigated species for both sexes was greatest in the fifth age. The largest loss of larvae of model species was observed immediately after hatching at the first age and during the last age. At the transition from the first age to second, 30% of the larvae died and 15% while molting to the. The larvae of the II, III and IV ages developed safely and survived. Conclusion. Data on the fertility of species and changes in the timing of hatching allow determining the state of the population and forecasting the number of locusts which is of practical interest.
