LOCUST--INSECTS
Locust are NOT found in the United States, but in Australia, the Middle
East and Africa. Commonly assumed to be locusts are cicadas. Cicadas are
usually found in trees during the summer after emerging from their shells
and creating what some people describe as an obnoxious chirping, piercing,
grating sound from dusk to dawn. Others love the sound. In Australia, during
summer, the noise of millions of cicadas in the gum trees can be so intense
as to drown out the sound of passing traffic on a busy highway.
