Red Locust
Nomadacris septemfasciata
The red locust, Nomadacris septemfasciata, is a large grasshopper species found in Sub-Saharan Africa. Its name refers to the colour of its hindwings. It is sometimes called the Criquet nomade in French, due to its nomadic movements in the dry season. When it forms swarms, it is described as a locust.
