Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003 | "Locust" is just a name for the distinct swarming stage of certain species of true grasshoppers, so unless that one was accompanied by a few million more individuals, it was not likely a locust. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash. |

Mez Ultimate Fish Guru Asian Hardfeather Enthusiast Posts: 3300 Votes: 162 Registered: 23-Feb-2001 | ive been having this out with a friend on msn. technically, and scientifically, nothing seperates locust and grasshoper in taxonomy, just common names. |

Rob1619 Fish Addict Posts: 763 Kudos: 619 Votes: 626 Registered: 01-Sep-2004 | I was sitting outside on the veranda and was bored so i decided to take a few pics of the bugs that keep coming to the light at the veranda. They are small insects and my camera is not very good at taking pics at nights. Here are the best pics i got..what do you think? |
