}}Phymateus aegrotus, the East African Bush Locusts, is a locust in the family Pyrgomorphidae. DistributionThis species is present in Africa, Northeast Tropical Africa, Somalia.[1][2] DescriptionPhymateus aegrotus can reach a length of {{convert|80|-|100|mm}} in males, of {{convert|60|-|80|mm}} in females.[3] Body is green in colour, while fore-wings are blackish and yellowish. The nymphs (hoppers) in the first instars are mostly black with several small yellowish markings, while in the last instar they are bright green. BiologyThese locusts lay eggs in the substrate (humus-sand mix), The eggs hatch after about 12 months. The life expectancy of adult animals is of 8–12 months.[3] They are capable of long migratory flights. As with other Phymateus species it raises and rustles its wings when disturbed and may secrete a noxious fluid from its thoracic joint.[4] The East African Bush Locusts feeds on bramble, Asclepias, bittersweet nightshade, Cestrum nocturnum.[3] Bibliography- Bolívar, I.
