The Australian Plague Locust Commission (APLC) produces a monthly Locust Bulletin during the seasons of locust activity (spring, summer and autumn). The Bulletin gives regional summaries of the locust situation and weather events of potential significance for locust development. It also provides a forecast of likely developments for the next three months (or from autumn to spring) for the Australian Plague Locust Chortoicetes terminifera, Spur-throated Locust Austracris guttulosa, and Migratory Locust Locusta migratoria.
