Locusts Vary: The locusts currently in South America are different than the Desert Locusts plaguing Eastern Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. “Locust” refers to insects in the family Acrididae, which includes long-horned grasshoppers and crickets. The migratory locust has the widest range, spanning from New Zealand to the African continent, but many localized species abound, such as the Rocky Mountain locust, Italian and Moroccan locusts, and red and brown locusts in South Africa.
