 Sure, here's an open-ended task based on the text about locusts:
Explain the difference between a locust and a grasshopper, and
describe the potential impact of locust swarms on agricultural
crops. Provide examples of locust species that are protected in
Hungary.

From the text about locusts, please write a short paragraph

summarizing the damage they can cause to agriculture. Your
paragraph should be no longer than 5 sentences.
Task: Compare and contrast the True cricket and the Bush
cricket based on the information given in the text. Identify at
least three similarities and three differences between the two
types of crickets. However, there are also several differences between them. For
instance, while True Cricket is generally a medium-sized insect,
Bush Cricket is larger in size and can be up to 3-4 cm long, with
antennae that can reach up to 5 cm. True Cricket's third pair of
legs are very strong and help them jump, while Bush Cricket's
antennae are longer than their own body length. In addition,
True Cricket's male can attract females by chirping, while Bush
Cricket's male makes a loud sound by rubbing their modified
front wings. Furthermore, True Cricket's female can hear the
males chirp through their front legs where their ears are located,
while Bush Cricket's female lays hundreds of eggs into humid
and loose soil, and the nymphs are green and do not have wings.
Finally, the adult Great Green Bush Cricket uses its strong hind
legs and fully developed wings in order to fly hundreds of
meters, while True Cricket does not have wings.
Overall, while True Cricket and Bush Cricket share some
similarities as omnivorous insects, they also have several
differences in their physical characteristics and behavior that set
them apart from one another.
Match the following terms with their corresponding definitions:
A. Nymph B. Antennae C. Metamorphosis D. Omnivores E. Chirp F. Swarms
1.The process of transformation from an immature form to an adult form in two or more distinct stages.
2.The act of producing a sharp, high-pitched sound.
3.A young insect that is similar in form to the adult, but smaller and sexually immature.
4.An organ of touch and sensation that is found on the head of some insects and crustaceans.
5.Animals that eat both plants and animals.
6.Large groups of insects or other animals that move together.
