Yet these may ye eat of all winged swarming things that go upon all fours, which have jointed legs above their feet, wherewith to leap upon the earth; Lev 11

So knees higher than their feet, jumpy legs. And I suppose they have to swarm. And most rabbis would only permit 4 particular species of desert locust. There are no dessert locusts. Crickets aren’t kosher.
