![The life cycle of the desert locust consists of three stages, the egg, the nymph known as a hopper, and the winged adult. Copulation takes place when a mature male hops onto the back of a mature female and grips her body with his legs. Sperm is transferred from the tip of his abdomen to the tip of hers, where it is stored. The process takes several hours and one insemination is sufficient for a number of batches of eggs.[8]](https://i1.wp.com/thepoliticus.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/1280px-Schistocerca_gregaria_01.jpg?fit=300%2C208&ssl=1)

![Pictured: Maps of predicted tropical cyclone-deadly heat hazard tracks for different climates. The red lines show the predicted tropical cyclone tracks that have at least a 50% chance of being followed by a deadly heatwave in different climate scenarios (except in panel (a) where the blue dotted lines are the predicted tracks and the red lines are areas the hazard actually impacted). E[N] is the expected number of tropical cyclone-heat hazards in a 30-year-period. (a) shows tracks in the current climate then how it changes with (b) a 1.5°C rise, (c) a 2°C rise and (d) a 4°C rise.](https://i1.wp.com/thepoliticus.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/cyclone-paths.jpg?fit=300%2C177&ssl=1)
