An unnamed species of locust-like grasshopper is known from the Maastrichtian age in the late Cretaceous period, about 66 million years ago. Among the largest of all locusts, it could grow to more than a foot (30.5 centimeters) in length. It lived in what is now the Americas. Unlike modern locusts, this species is not a member of the family Acrididae, which did not evolve until 59 million years ago; it instead belongs to an extinct grasshopper family.
