The United States is home to several species of locusts, with the most notable being the Rocky Mountain locust and the migratory locust. While there are about 20 species classified as locusts in North America, only a few, such as the Differential locust and the Two-striped locust, are commonly found in the U.S. These species can be found primarily in the western regions, where they can form swarms under certain environmental conditions.
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 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.
A black locust is a tree, Latin name Robinia pseudoacacia, in the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family, native to the southeastern United States.
The Carolina Locust, scientifically known as Dissosteira carolina, got its name due to its prevalent presence in the Carolinas, particularly in the southeastern United States. The name reflects both its geographic distribution and its classification as a locust, a term used for certain grasshoppers that can form large swarms. This species is also known for its distinctive coloration and behavior, further associating it with the region.
A yellow locust is another term for the black locust, a tree of species Robinia pseudoacacia in the pea family.
There seems to be some confusion as "Brown locust" is a species of locust rather than something created at a specific time. Brown locusts have been around for many years and are a common species of locust found in various parts of the world.
There are many different types of locusts with different genera and species. The genus Schistocerca includes the American locust(species Americana) and the desert locust(species gregaria). Some other locusts are the Locusta migratoria(migratory locust) , Nomadracis septemfasciata(red locust), and Locustana pardalina(brown locust).
The scientific or taxonomic name would be Robina pseudo-acacia.
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.
The desert locust is a species of locust. A desert locust is said to be the most dangerous of all pests due to its ability to fly across long distances and it can eat the plants equivalent to its own weight.

The Rocky Mountain locust has been extinct for some time now, however there are other variants of the species that thrive in africa.
