Psalms 78:46

46. Caterpillar… locust If, as some suppose, the former word ( הסיל , hhaseel) denotes the larva, or caterpillar stage of the locust, then the latter word ( ארבה , arbeh,) must signify the winged locust: but if the former be taken for locust, the latter must be understood of some particular species, like the Acridium peregrinum, more terrible for its destructive habits. The Septuagint has ερυσιβη , blight, canker, and in Psalms 105:34, βρουχος , a species of locust without wings, or otherwise answering to the unwinged locust when it emerges from the caterpillar stage, at which time they are as destructive as in the mature state, moving along on the ground in vast numbers. In this state, Van Lennep say, “They are correctly pictured on a Babylonian gem.” See more on Psalms 105:34
