The "grassland to desert/dirt" is just a graphical effect.
Do you think the locust should kill trees also?
I read the biblical stories many times (once a year, in fact ). I believe the locust in the bible destroyed mainly farms because that's the way the Egyptians were damaged the most.Locust is just a grasshopper (that can fly long distances in a huge swarm), and grasshoppers don't eat nothing but plants. Locust still threatens farms today, but it effects less due to the use of pesticides.
