The phrase was used in Snow White and The Wizard of Oz and it seems an appropriate name for a cricket.
How many people could survive a grasshopper attack?
DIRECTLY killed by grasshoppers? Probably none.
But grasshoppers in large numbers are called "locusts" which are capable of devouring every shred of grain, grass or plant material. Over the course of the centuries, probably millions of people have starved to death after locusts ravaged their crops and fields. Locusts were one of the "ten plagues of Egypt" for a reason.
What do grasshoppers symbolize?
The particular grasshopper species used as a motif by the ancient egyptians was probably the locust, either the desert locust (Schistocera gregaria) or the migratory locust (Schistocerca migratoria), both of which were probably common sights in the rich agricultural land bordering the Nile. Sudden plagues of these insects in ancient times no doubt caused much destruction of grain and other food crops, just as they do today.
Most of the locust (or grasshopper) amulets and seals so far discovered are similar to those depicting scarab beetles, with a flat base usually inscribed and pierced through for threading on string or wire so that they could be worn. Possibly these amulets were thought to ward-off locust plagues. Locusts (or grasshoppers) were also depicted in tomb reliefs and paintings, as elements of wildlife along the Nile.
The locust or grasshopper hieroglyph quite simply refers to the insect itself, although in certain contexts it appears to mean 'great numbers of individuals', for example on a wall in the temple at Medinet Habu near modern-day Luxor [map] there is an inscription which reads: 'battalions will come like the locusts'. The locust (or grasshopper) appears in hieroglyphic texts, for example, as a determinative to the word snehem - meaning 'locust' or 'grasshopper' - as illustrated below (a determinative symbol in hieroglyphic text, the locust or grasshopper symbol in this case, is not transliterated and merely indicates the meaning or context of the word represented by the preceding hieroglyphs).
