True Locust |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| The true locust is one of over 5000 species of grasshopper in the family Acrididae. Locusts travel in huge numbers capable of feeding on and destroying entire fields of cultivated plants and any nearby vegetation. Approaching swarms create an ominous hum and sometimes are large enough to block out sunlight. | ||||||
