Using a rare agricultural treatise published in 1776, Zhihuang chuanxilu (Record of the transmission of locust control), this article traces the origin and development of mobilizing ducks to control locusts in China, from the late sixteenth to the twentieth century. By focusing on movements, mutual generation and mutual overcoming, transformations, and cycles, as well as circulations of humans, locusts, sweet potatoes, ducks, and materials in the development of the duck method, the article helps illustrate animal mobility in a non-Western historical context
