Red-legged Locust. 
Insects which have been familiar to our senses since 
the days of our childhood, and which invariably present 
themselves to our sight, as the season of summer advances 
into that of autumn, are generally looked upon with al¬ 
most perfect indifference, in consequence of this very fa¬ 
miliarity; few individuals, reflecting for a single moment 
on the purposes of their existence, or are induced to 
bestow a solitary thought upon the benefits, or injuries 
they may be capable of producing in the comforts or 
luxuries, appertaining to our household economy. This 
seems to be peculiarly the case with the species, whose 
depredations are here to be noticed, merely on account 
of its proving to be one of our social little grasshoppers, 
insects which are at all times to be met with in our cus¬ 
tomary w'alks through the field, and gardens attached to 
our dwellings. The species alluded to, is the Acridium 
Jemur-rubrum, the red legged grasshoper, or more proper¬ 
ly, locust. In the present season, in some of the north¬ 
ern counties of our state, and likewise in the states ad¬ 
joining, this insect has been uncommonly numerous, 
most generally along the borders of our lakes and the 
shores of the various streams that ramify in every direc¬ 
tion through the country. They have appeared in such 
multitudes, that the light of the sun could but at inter¬ 
vals be seen, from such positions on the earth over which 
they pursued their flight, and when they descended upon 
a field, left scarcely a green thing visible. The entire 
surface of the land, m such districts, over which they 
passed, appeared as bare and desolate, as if occasioned 
by the withering influence of the flames. In some in¬
