Locust

Locusts are a variety of insect closely related to grasshoppers and crickets. Locusts breed rapidly under suitable conditions, and they form swarms that can strip a field rapidly and do great damage to crops. In some cultures, locusts are eaten and even considered delicacies.

Locust is also a type of tree, including the honey locust and black locust[?].
