請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題： A wet spring in Las Vegas has spawned hordes of grasshoppers so large that they are showing up on the weather radar. In viewing the radar, CNN meteorologist Allison Chinchar said it looked like there were two storms over the Vegas area: one in the north of the city (that was actual rain) and another right over Las Vegas. But the second one wasn’t moving as rain normally would, she said. “It looked as though it should be torrentially downpouring in Las Vegas,” said Chinchar. By changing the settings on the radar, meteorologists could see that the other “storm” was actually the massive hordes of grasshoppers that have settled over the city in recent days, Chinchar said. Las Vegas, like all of Nevada, has had almost twice as much rain in 2019 than normal, Chinchar said. “It appears through history that when we have a wet winter or spring, these things build up often down below Laughlin and even into Arizona,” Jeff Knight, state entomologist, said. “We’ll have grasshopper migrations about this time of the year, and they’ll move northward.” Knight said the swarms aren’t terribly unusual given the amount of rain the state has had this year. “We have records clear from the ’60s of it happening, and I have seen it ... at least four or five times in my 30-plus years,” he said. “There are some special weather conditions that trigger the migration.”

請觀察這段話是誰說的？他的專業身分（Entomologist）通常研究什麼對象？再結合文章開頭提到的那個讓氣象雷達出現誤判、且與「遷徙」（migration）有關的主體，你認為這位專家口中「在濕潤季節後會大量增加」的究竟是什麼呢？
