Schistocerca americana is a species of grasshopper in the family Acrididae known commonly as the American grasshopper[3] and American bird grasshopper.[4] It is native to North America, where it occurs in the eastern United States, Mexico, and the Bahamas.[3] Occasional, localized outbreaks of this grasshopper occur, and it is often referred to as a locust,[5] though it lacks the true swarming form of its congener, the desert locust (S. gregaria).[6]
