Resumo

A comprehensive review of literature and online catalogues was conducted to present the diversity of locust and other pest grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) on postal stamps. Fifty-one stamps (1961-2019) from 29 countries in four continents representingten species are presented. Desert Locust, Red Locust and Migratory Locust are the true locust species depicted. Other seven pest grasshoppers were also recorded. African countries provide 80% of the stamps. Different elements present on the stamps such as life cycle, control methods for eradication, geographical correspondence and taxonomic issues are discussed.
