Source Description
In this image from Walters manuscript W.106, the Lord told Moses to stretch forth his hand that locusts might come and eat every plant in the land, all that the hail had left. A dense swarm of locusts settled over all the land, one so dense that its like had never been seen before, nor would be seen again.
