evidently descendants of the locusts
referred to by Moses in the Book OF
Exodus: And the locusts went up
over all the land Of Egypt, and rested
In all the coasts Of Egypt. Very
grevious were they. Before them
were no such lOcusts as they, neither
after them shall be such. For they
covered the face Of the whole earth.

they did eat every herb of the land,

not any green thing in the trees and
in the herbs Of the field, through all
