Extract

These experiments with Locusta migratoria show that temperature conditions during breeding have a great influence on the normal development and general health of this insect. There is a certain limit of favourable temperature, below which the development of the genital products in the imagines ceases, and the insects easily succumb to bacterial diseases.
