The locust

Among the signs sent upon Pharaoh's people was the locust with the flood, the lice, the frogs and the blood; on the Day of Resurrection people come out of the graves like scattered locusts, and the jurists allow eating it even in ihram.

  1. فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلطُّوفَانَ وَٱلْجَرَادَ وَٱلْقُمَّلَ وَٱلضَّفَادِعَ وَٱلدَّمَ ءَايَـٰتٍ مُّفَصَّلَـٰتٍ فَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِينَ

    So We sent against them the flood and the locusts and the vermin and the frogs and the blood - a succession of clear signs. But they were arrogant and became a guilty folk.

    Qur'an 7:133

  2. خُشَّعًا أَبْصَـٰرُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ ٱلْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُّنتَشِرٌ

    With downcast eyes, they come forth from the graves as they were locusts spread abroad,
