     * locusts.
       The word {arbeh,} Locust, is derived from {ravah,} to
       multiply, be numerous, etc., because they are more prolific
       than any other insect, and because of the immense swarms of
       them by which different countries, especially the East, are
       infested.  The locust, in entomology, belongs to a genus of
       insects known among naturalists by the name of Grylli; which
       includes three species, crickets, grasshoppers, and locusts.
       The common great brown locust is about three inches in
       length; has two antenn(9120)about an inch long, and two pair of
       wings.  The head and horns are brown; the mouth and inside of
       the larger legs bluish; the upper side of the body and upper
       wings brown, the former spotted with black, and the latter
       with dusky spots.  The back is defended by a shield of a
       greenish hue:  the under wings are of a light brown,
       tinctured with green, and nearly transparent.  It has a large
       open mouth, in the two jaws of which it has four teeth, which
       traverse each other like scissors, being calculated, from
       their mechanism, to gripe or cut.  The general appearance of
       the insect is that of the grasshopper.  The Egyptians had
       gods in whom they trusted to deliver them from these terrible
       invaders; but by this judgment they were taught that it was
       impossible to stand before Moses, the servant of Jehovah.
