Facts

The term "locust" refers to a kind of large, flying grasshopper that sometimes forms a swarm which is very destructive, eating all vegetation in its path.

  • Locusts and other grasshoppers are large, straight-winged insects with long, jointed back legs that give them the ability to jump a long way.
  • All through the Old Testament, locusts are seen as an overwhelming infestation that destroys crops and animals.
  • God sent locusts as one of the ten plagues against the Egyptians.
  • The New Testament says that locusts were a main source of food for John the Baptist.
