We have a few * around here, but they are really just tiny little things. Maybe an inch or so in length, but that's about it.
I can remember when I was just a kid and we used to have a very big garden with many kinds of vegetables, etc., and there were also HUGE * every summer.....the ones described by H-Man above remind me of them. Haven't seen * that big since we stopped planting big gardens. So in a way, I can sort of identify with the farmers, etc., who are worried about their crops, etc., and the damage these locusts/* might do.
We were never afraid of the *, though, and it was fun to try and catch them and then put them in a jar with holes in the top for air and study them awhile before releasing them, or using them for fish bait sometimes.
