TRIVIA - MIGRATORY LOCUST

id you know that migratory locust is kept flying by a bundle of hairs on its head. When these hairs are stimulated by an air
current coming from the front, they create a nerve stimulus that keeps the locust's wings beating. The beating, in turn, accelerates the air current; once the locust takes off, it continues to fly for extremely long distances.
