  Beetle
     (Heb. hargol, meaning "leaper"). Mention of it is made only in
     Lev. 11:22, where it is obvious the word cannot mean properly
     the beetle. It denotes some winged creeper with at least four
     feet, "which has legs above its feet, to leap withal." The
     description plainly points to the locust (q.v.). This has been
     an article of food from the earliest times in the East to the
     present day. The word is rendered "cricket" in the Revised
     Version.
