Exodus 10:6

They shall fill the houses of all the Egyptians Dr. Shaw says, the locusts he saw in Barbary, in the year 1724, “climbed, as they marched forward, over every tree or wall that was in their way; they entered into our very houses and bed-chambers, like so many thieves.” See Encycl. Brit. on the term Gryllus, p. 162, 3d edit.
