The word locusta, however, occurs in the encyclopaedia of Thomas of Cantimré and in several works of the Bohemian Middle Ages with yet two other meanings – denoting the sweet-smelling lemon balm or the sweet tasting tree leaves sucked by bees to produce honey; and as the name of a small rabbit like animal; John the Baptist is said to have used it as food when dwelling in the desert. The study discusses the possible reasons that might have convinced Thomas of Cantimpré to classify locusta not only as an insect or as a fish, but also as a terrestrial quadruped.
