Schistocerca
Genus of grasshoppers / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schistocerca[1] is a genus of grasshoppers, commonly called bird grasshoppers, many of which swarm as locusts. The best known species is probably the desert locust (S. gregaria) and trans-Atlantic flight may explain the biogeography of some locust species.[2]
