Abstract A detailed study of the vermiform larva of Schistocerca gregaria was made using film analysis in combination with morphological studies. The adaptations of the body are illustrated, and the use of these in digging up to the surface of the ground is described. The means of orientation were investigated, and unusual club-tipped hairs are suggested as important mechanoreceptors.
