S. piceifrons is closely related to Schistocerca americana,[3] but exhibits a greater degree of phase polymorphism referred to in the technical literature as "density-dependent phenotypic plasticity.[4] It is the swarming locust of tropical America.[4] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schistocerca_piceifrons)
