This name derives from the Ancient Greek “akrídon (ακρίδων) akrída (ακρίδα) Akrísios (Ἀκρίσιος),” meaning “locust, grasshopper.” A yellow or green vegetarian insect with large legs that allows jumping a long distance. In Greek mythology, Acrisius was the king of Argos, son of Abas and Aglaea, and twin brother of Proetus.
