Dissosteira longipennis

Summary

Dissosteira longipennis, the high plains locust, is a species of band-winged grasshopper in the family Acrididae.[2][3][4][5] It is found in North America.[2][6] During the 1930s, it formed enormous swarms and caused significant damage to crops in the western United States,[7] but it is now very rare and has not swarmed since. However rare, the species is still extant,[8] unlike the Rocky Mountain locust, the only other species of locust found in North America.
