This document provides a detailed analysis of a Desert Locust upsurge that occurred in Saudi Arabia from November 1996 to May 1997. It describes the weather patterns that contributed to breeding conditions, including above average rainfall. It then outlines the progression of locust infestations over time in different regions of Saudi Arabia, from the initial appearance of solitary adults in November 1996, breeding and increases in densities through February and March, hatching and hopper band formation through April, and migrations in May as conditions dried. Control operations carried out from November 1996 to June 1997 are also discussed.
