Schistocerca americana is a species of grasshopper in the family Acrididae known commonly as the American grasshopper (Schistocerca americana) and American bird grasshopper. It is native to North America, where it occurs in the eastern United States, Mexico, and the Bahamas. Occasional, localized outbreaks of this grasshopper occur, and it is often referred to as a locust, though it lacks the true swarming form of its congener, the desert locust.
