   Caterpillar
      the consumer. Used in the Old Testament (1 Kings 8:37; 2 Chr.
      6:28; Ps. 78:46; Isa. 33:4) as the translation of a word (hasil)
      the root of which means "to devour" or "consume," and which is

      have been a species of locust, or the name of one of the

      is also found (Ps. 105:34; Jer. 51:14, 27; R.V., "cankerworm")
