Nigeria-based Institute Develops New Anti-Locust Bio-Pesticide. Scientists at the Nigeria-based International Institute of Tropical Agriculture or IITA are to report Monday the development of an environmentally safe natural bio-pesticide that kills the crop-destroying locusts and grasshoppers. The bio-pesticide that uses a naturally occurring fungus scientifically called "Metarhizium anisopliac" ... kills locusts within four to ten days but does not damage other insects, plants, animals or people. 1, record 1, English, - anti%2Dlocust

Most commonly called grasshoppers, species in this family vary greatly in shape, size and colouring but all possess large hind legs well developed for jumping. They have short antennae, a short ovipositor and well-developed wings. 4, record 2, English, - short%2Dhorned%20grasshoppers

The names of the groups belonging to ranks above the level of genus are uninomials in the plural case. Thus, it is appropriate to say "Winteraceae are primitive" and inappropriate when we say "Winteraceae is primitive". 6, record 2, English, - short%2Dhorned%20grasshoppers

On confond souvent les termes «criquets» et «sauterelles». Cette confusion vient peut-être du fait qu’en anglais les sauterelles sont aussi désignées par le terme «grasshoppers». 3, record 2, French, - criquets

Les noms de taxons supérieurs à l’espèce, tels famille, classe, ordre, etc, s’écrivent en un seul terme et prennent la marque du pluriel. On doit donc écrire «Les Asteraceae sont généralement des plantes herbacées» et non «l’Asteraceae est [...]». 3, record 2, French, - criquets
