I wanted to know that same question. I looked up on the internet and found that locust are a type of short-horned grasshopper. The main difference between a regular grasshopper and a locust is that locust have the ability to change behaviour from a mostly solitary animal to a collective swarm of insects. It's also interesting about how there can be physical changes in appearance as they change behaviour.

A locust is a kind of grasshopper. It is one of five different sub-families.

Locusts can fly. Grasshoppers don't have wings and just hop.
