Long locust

The Long Locust is a green insect that can be seen and heard roaming the grass areas of town. It is naturally camouflaged by its green exterior and the green grass that surrounds it. Its location is found prior to hearing it close by. It can be found between August to November in Wild World and May to November in City Folk, between 8am to 7pm. If You Go near it, The Locust will move away from you, Also if it goes to the water then it will disappear in the water.

In the "Bugs and Fish" window in City Folk, it says "The name for this insect comes from its elongated head."

Donating to the Museum
As with all fish and insects in the series, the long locust can be donated to the Museum. Blathers the curator will say the following in the respected games.

In Wild World
"I feel I must inform you the female long locust is much larger than the male. As such, I suspect this one you brought is, in fact, a female specimen. I don't mind telling you, it's not only bigger in size, but in wretchedness, wot? Then again, I suppose the males are quite wretched enough in their own right."

In City Folk
"Female long locusts are a great deal bigger than their male counterparts. Of course, gender aside, these locusts are large in general, hence the name. I must say, regular locusts are rather creepy enough. Being longer simply makes these ones even creepier."

The long locust appears in the first section of the exhibit, passed the butterflies and next to the small weed next to the pond.
