And he who stood up, one from out of themselves by a name of Grasshopper ("Agabus")⁵⁵ showed by sign straight through the Spirit a mega famine destined to become upon the whole Inhabited World, that which became in the time of Crippled ("Claudius").

Act 11:28

Agabus the Grasshopper

Abarim Publications points out an interesting comparison between the locust and the grasshopper in terms of "teaching":

As we point out in the full dictionary article on this noun: the primary function of the wings of birds (and angels and hence perhaps locusts and grasshoppers) is not to render the power of flight but rather the power of protecting, particularly the young and weak (Matthew 23:37). Flight is just a side effect of that. We also point out that the word for locust, namely ארבה (arbeh), comes from the same verb רבב (rabab), to be or become many or much, as does the familiar term ραββι (rabbi), Rabbi or great one. That suggests that the locust relates to the grasshopper the way the formally educated and formally designated Rabbi relates to the many informally gifted seers which normally live among any normal population.
