Male grasshoppers that have a smaller body size, will fertilize the female by way of being on top of her body.
Furthermore the male locust will channel the spermatophere into the female's ovipositor. Then the sperm into the egg through micropyles (smooth channel).
Furthermore spermatozoa will be stored and processed in the ovary. In breeding, locusts include ovipar animals that breed by laying eggs.
The process of egg formation lasts for 3-4 days. The female females will insert their eggs into the soil using ovipositor at the end of their stomach. During the spawning period, female locusts are capable of producing up to 300 eggs.
In addition to the soil, other media that can be used to lay eggs is on the stems, leaves and flowers of plants. Eggs that have been stored, will be left for months and in the summer will
