Swarming locust is a locust that is flying in a huge group of other locusts. They generally take over and consume everything in their path. A crawling locust is solitary.
Crawling locusts are a phase of certain species of locusts, particularly the desert locust, characterized by their solitary behavior and reduced migratory tendencies. Unlike their swarming counterparts, which are known for their massive, destructive migrations, crawling locusts tend to stay close to their breeding grounds and exhibit less gregarious behavior. In this phase, they can still cause significant agricultural damage, but they do so in a more localized manner. Their behavior can change dramatically into swarming when environmental conditions are favorable, such as after heavy rains.

A locust is an insect. More specifically a locust is a type of grasshopper with a tendency toward swarming behavior.
In South America, the primary swarming locust species is the South American locust (Schistocerca cancellata). This species is known for its ability to form large swarms that can cause significant agricultural damage. Other notable locust species in the region include the Migratory locust (Locusta migratoria), though it is less prevalent. Swarming behavior in these locusts is influenced by environmental conditions and food availability.
The term "locust" commonly refers to certain species within the grasshopper family, especially those in the genus Schistocerca. However, the name "locust" is often applied to various species of grasshoppers that exhibit swarming behavior. The most well-known species associated with swarming is the desert locust, scientifically named Schistocerca gregaria.
Yes, they are classified as insects. They are the swarming stage of grasshoppers, and can be very destructive to crops.
The difference between a locust and a katydid is a locust is short horned grasshopper. A katydid is a long horned grasshopper, or what is known as just a grasshopper.
LOCUST
Grasshoppers;when swarming, known as locust.
locust are a lot bigger than crickets
No. They're not. Actually they have pretty good vision. And they don't bump into each other's way when they're swarming.
The tree and grasshopper that share the same name are both called "locust." This can sometimes cause confusion, as the word "locust" refers to both a type of tree in the pea family and a type of grasshopper known for their swarming behavior.
