Endogenously-generated motor programs underlie the repetitive patterns of muscular activity that perform specific tasks prior to and during adult emergence in locusts. Several of these motor programs are described. Emergence is caused by the action of waves of longitudinal segmental contraction that pass anteriorly along the abdomen, working the animal forward out of its old cuticle. Additional motor programs assist in the extrication of the legs and mouthparts. During stage 3 (Hughes, 1980a) emergence behavior is organized into repeating units, defined as bouts. The metathoracic ganglion times the expression of concurrently-active motor programs so that they bear definite phase relationships one to another within a bout. Each bout is functionally divisible into 3 phases, each of which contributes differently to the emergence of the animal. Bout period and duration of stage 3 are both under sensory control in relation to the progress of emergence.
