ABSTRACT Plague locusts, Chortoicetes terminifera (Walker), that emigrated from Longreach to Cunnamulla, Queensland, produced non‐diapause eggs. Those that emigrated further to Tottenham, N.S.W. produced diapause eggs within 7 days indicating that diapause induction is rapid and can occur in fully grown adults.
