Locusts are generally a really good food, they are low in fat, high in protein, and are a natural diet for almost all kinds of insectivorous animals, meaning that Locusts are almost always found in one form or another in almost all places where reptiles are found. This may also explain why all reptiles are so crazy about them, it is as if it is encoded in them that Locusts are good food. As a reptile owner, you quickly find out that there are some things your reptile prefers over other things. But Locusts are of course not just for reptiles, insectivorous birds, some types of monkeys, sugar gliders (flying squirrels) and many other insectivorous animals love Locusts.
