It's not what they do so much as the harm they passively cause. Grasshopper grubs feed in the soil like other grubs. It's only when they feed on the roots of locust plants that they reproduce rapidly and become gregarious and predatory. When this happens they fly around in huge swarms and eat everything they land on. This is even mentioned several times in The Bible.
