L. iv. c. 5, 475.—Much of this description is quite oriental, but such is the general resemblance to some of the animals mentioned, that in Italy it still bears the name of “Cavalletta.” A German name for this Locust, as well as the Grasshopper (before mentioned), is the “Hay-horse.” About the Locust’s neck, too, the integuments have some resemblance to the trappings of a horse; some species, however, have the appearance of being hooded. In the Bible, Locusts are compared to horses.—Joel, ii. 4; Rev. ix. 7. Ray says, “Caput oblongum, equi instar prona spectans.”
