While locusts are part of the grasshopper family, there are differences. There are 11000 known species of grasshoppers and only 19 of locusts. Grasshoppers are typically green, brown, or gray in color. Locusts, on the other hand, are a type of grasshopper that undergoes a transformation in behavior and appearance when they enter a swarming phase. During this phase, locusts become larger and change color from green to yellow or brown. They also develop longer wings and more powerful hind legs that enable them to fly long distances.
=======================================
1-2. American bird grasshopper.
3-4. Carolina locust.
Comments and critiques welcome.

Wonderful detail, Ronnie! If it moves, you will get it.
Thank you, Mike, for the feedback.
But, it is easier to get the shot if the subject does not move! 🤣
