Some locusts have iridescent 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. [4]
Do you have a little light in you? I know a song called "This Little Light of Mine". [5] You show others that God is God when you do good things.
