Some locusts have irridescent coloring in their wings or bodies. They look like they have a light in them. Perhaps that is why Adam named them 'light in her'.
Light is a symbol of holiness. Though the locust spends much time on the ground, it jumps to get off the ground, and it appears to have light inside. We sometimes spend much time just living and not thinking about God. Then when we realize he is there, we jump at the chance to praise him or talk with him. As we learn to enjoy the presence of God, we want to spend more time with him. [1]
Do you have a little light in you? I know a song called "This Little Light of Mine". [2] You show others that God is God and he is good when you do good things.

When the Bald Locust swarms, there are so many that they may pile up on each other. Perhaps Adam saw them when he named them 'a heap of people'. If we divide the letters of its name differently it means 'the rock that finished the will of the father.'
Jesus was called the Rock [3] [4]. The Bald Locust, representing the Rock, teaches us to see Christ in all the scriptures. Every verse of every chapter of every book of the Old Testament participates in a hidden teaching of Jesus. [5] [6]
Many people will mock the idea that all the scriptures speak of Christ because they can't see him there. Would you try to learn to fix cars from a guy who says cars can't be fixed, or from one who can teach you how?
The bald locust is a reminder of the completed work of Christ. Not only did he complete the work of salvation, but he completes the work of showing the Father by revealing the mystery in the play. This is the primary lesson of the good teacher. The good teacher may teach us how to be good, but it is more important that he teaches us about the love of the Father.
