Exodus 10:12-15
The Lord then said to Moses,“ Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt and the locusts will come up over it and eat every plant in the land, everything that the hail left.”So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and the Lord sent an east wind over the land all that day and through the night. By morning the east wind had brought in the locusts.The locusts went up over the entire land of Egypt and settled on the whole territory of Egypt. Never before had there been such a large number of locusts, and there never will be again.They covered the surface of the whole land so that the land was black, and they consumed all the plants on the ground and all the fruit on the trees that the hail had left. Nothing green was left on the trees or the plants in the field throughout the land of Egypt.

Psalms 105:34-35
He spoke, and locusts came— young locusts without number.They devoured all the vegetation in their land and consumed the produce of their land.

Revelation 9:2-11
He opened the shaft of the abyss, and smoke came up out of the shaft like smoke from a great furnace so that the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the shaft.Then locusts came out of the smoke on to the earth, and power was given to them like the power that scorpions have on the earth.They were told not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green plant, or any tree, but only people who do not have God’s seal on their foreheads.They were not permitted to kill them but were to torment them for five months; their torment is like the torment caused by a scorpion when it strikes a man.In those days people will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will flee from them.The appearance of the locusts was like horses equipped for battle. Something like gold crowns was on their heads; their faces were like men’s faces;they had hair like women’s hair; their teeth were like lions’ teeth;they had chests like iron breastplates; the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses rushing into battle;and they had tails with stingers like scorpions, so that with their tails they had the power to harm people for five months.They had as their king the angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he has the name Apollyon.

Joel 2:25
I will repay you for the years that the swarming locust ate, the young locust, the destroying locust, and the devouring locust— My great army that I sent against you.

Joel 1:4-7
What the devouring locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten; what the swarming locust has left, the young locust has eaten; and what the young locust has left, the destroying locust has eaten.Wake up, you drunkards, and weep; wail, all you wine drinkers, because of the sweet wine, for it has been taken from your mouth.For a nation has invaded My land, powerful and without number; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and it has the fangs of a lioness.It has devastated My grapevine and splintered My fig tree. It has stripped off its bark and thrown it away; its branches have turned white.

Amos 7:1-2
The Lord God showed me this: He was forming a swarm of locusts at the time the spring crop first began to sprout— after the cutting of the king’s hay.When the locusts finished eating the vegetation of the land, I said,“ Lord God, please forgive! How will Jacob survive since he is so small?”
