The locust is a serious pest of cereals, other crops and grasses during plague periods which occur frequently in south-eastern Australia. The females deposit their eggs in the soil at a depth of 2-10 cm as froth-lined pods each containing 30-60 eggs. Poorly drained clay soil is preferred. During outbreaks there can be up to 1,000 eggs per square meter. Under suitable conditions there are 3-4 generations per year. The eggs might go into diapause during the winter.
