Locusts

Okay, I know that Locusts aren't unknown but they have so weird meanings with it. They said in the bible that Locusts were the sign of plague and my mother recently said that Locusts were supposed to hit this year. I also heard that in Greek mythology Greek philosopher Socrates said Locusts used to be humans but when they heard the Muses music they were so enchanted that they forgot to eat or drink so they dried up and died so the Muses turned them into Locust so they could sing all their lives. Weird huh? I got a photo of a weird bugs shell. A locust maybe?

Anyone know if this is really a Locust let me know.
