What is a "locust"?
A locust is a type of grasshopper known for its ability to undergo swarming behavior and form destructive locust plagues. Locusts are characterized by their long hind legs adapted for jumping and their ability to fly over long distances. They are usually brown or green in color, blending in with their surroundings. Locusts feed on vegetation and can consume vast amounts of crops, leading to severe agricultural damage. Their swarming behavior is triggered by certain environmental conditions, such as high population densities and favorable weather conditions.
