The external appearance of the full grown locust bears a strong resemblance to the common horsefly* It is from an inch and a quarter to an inch and three quarters long, and from three eighths to half an inch in diameter, at the largest part of the body, and, in- cluding the wings, from an inch and a half to an inch and Jive eighths. The body is black, except the Jour rings that run transversely over it, two large... and two smaller, all tipped with orange. The shape of the head is a good miniature picture of the head of the elephant.
