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[?].
