Locust
Locust are associated with cankerworm, caterpillar, grasshoppers, palmerworm,
We see numerous occurrences of the word locust in the Bible.
Cankerworm
Nahum 3:15 There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm[1]: make thyself many as the cankerworm[1], make thyself many as the locusts[2].
Nahum 3:16 Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm[1] spoileth, and flieth away.
Nahum 3:15
There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm[1]: make thyself many as the cankerworm[1], make thyself many as the locusts.16 Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm[1] spoileth, and flieth away.
Joel 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm <03218>, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
Grasshopper
Nahum 3:17 Thy crowned[3]are as the locusts[2], and thy captains as the great grasshoppers[4], which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
The term crowned is translated commander and guardsmen in other versions and is said to be from the letters MemNunZayinReish 04502 which only appears in Nahum 3:17. In the original text it is written as MemNunZayinReishYodKuf in reference to swarming locusts from 0697 with the letters AlefReishBeitHey. The text also says the generals which normally appears as TetPieSamechReish but appearing as VavTetPieSamechReishYodKaf, These generals are said to be like grasshoppers using the Hebrew letters GimelVavBeit from 01462 written in the original text as KafGimelVavBeit.
Terms like locust and grasshopper are often used to denote swarms of anything that does damage or eats up the crops that sustain us. Even in the Declaration of Independence we see the reference to a listed complaint about the Crowned king of Great Britain where "He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance."
It should be evident that the Bible often uses the same types of metaphor to express the devouring nature of kings, rulers and their officers who exercise authority one over the other especially when the people return to the bondage of Egypt or eat at the tables of Babylon engaging in the covetous practices of the Cains, Nimrods Caesars and FDRs of the worlds we create for ourselves through Contracts, Covenants, and Constitutions.
Caterpillers
But as caterpillers in Psalms 78:46 He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
Psalms 105:34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers <03218>, and that without number,
Jer 51:14 The LORD of hosts hath sworn by himself, [saying], Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers <03218>; and they shall lift up a shout against thee.
Jer 51:27 Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers <03218>.
Isa 33:4 And your spoil shall be gathered [like] the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
Palmerworm
Amos 4:9 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm[5] devoured them: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
Joel 1:4 That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm <03218> eaten; and that which the cankerworm <03218> hath left hath the caterpiller eaten.
