How the model is used in teaching
The desert locust is a large short-horned grasshopper and a convenient type example of the class Insecta. Its body is divided into head, thorax and abdomen; the thorax carries three pairs of jointed legs and two pairs of wings, and the hind legs are enlarged for jumping. Internally, textbooks follow the alimentary canal from the mouthparts through the gut, the open circulatory system with a dorsal heart, breathing through spiracles and tracheae, and excretion by Malpighian tubules.
Dissecting a real insect is slow and the organs are small. The model presents the dissected locust at a size that can be seen across the room, and the numbers keyed to the English card let students check each structure as they label their own diagrams.
