In Wild World, when acres where no longer present and its jump length reduced, it was less expensive.



Donating to the Museum
Like all insects in the Animal Crossing series, the migratory locust can be donated to the Museum by talking to Blathers, who will give a small talk on it.

In Wild World
Upon donating to the Museum, Blathers the curator will say;

"I wonder if the migratory locust thinks about where it's going to go next? Frankly, I suspect it plans not at all and just flies about willy-nilly... Hardly a recommended way of traveling, eh wot? Hoo... But I digress..."

In City Folk
Blathers will say this upon donation:

"Ah, hoo, migratory locusts. As their name suggests, they fly far...quite far, in point of fact. These insects will fly as a group into fields, devour all the crops, and completely devastate the land. Just one of these beasts is sufficiently horrifying, so imagine how abominable a swarm would be... Blech!"

The Migratory Locust can be found near the Dung Beetle and Long Locust.
