Coined in the early 14th century CE and describing a grasshopper, the English language word locust comes from the Old French language word languste, which in turn derives from the Latin language word locusta, describing a locust, or a lobster.
The Green Locust is a species of tree that grows in North America. Its Scientific name is the Robinia Pseudoacacia. It is also commonly known as Black Locust, False Acacia, Green Locust, Locust, Post Locust, Shipmast Locust, White Locust and Yellow Locust.
Since chitin is a strong structural polysaccharide used to form the exoskeletons of insects, it forms a hard shell. As such, as an insect grows, it has to molt, shedding the outer layer of chitin. It usually leaves it behind on a surface, such as a wall or a tree, and it breaks out of the chitin shell after forming a new one underneath. In this way, it can continue to grow and occupy a larger volume within its new exoskeleton.
