It goes like it was either the Prophet [peace be upon him] or the one of the Khulafa e Rashideen [ra] mostly the former [saws] who asked the followers to look for this animal in far off cities like yemen because they could not find it in or near the holy cities, and when they found it and reported, the Prophet [saws] heaved a sigh of relief, praised Allah and said the extinction of this animal is a sign of yaum ul Qiyamah.
I have paraphrased it, if I've said anything wrong, may Allah forgive me. Aameen.




No locusts were seen in one of the years of Umar's caliphate, the year in which he died, and becoming very anxious on this account he sent a rider to the Yemen, another to Iraq and another to Syria to enquire whether any locusts had been seen. The rider who came from the Yemen brought him a handful and scattered it in front of him, and when Umar saw it he said, "Allah is Most Great," and told that he had heard Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) say, "Allah who is great and glorious created a thousand species, six hundred in the sea and four hundred on the land. The first species to perish will be the locusts, and when they perish the species will follow one another like beads on a string." [Tirmidhi]
Rocky Mountain Locusts became extinct in 1875 while other species survive and the latest attack is on Cairo

MashaAllah, great find Muadh.
So, Desi tadka, it was loKust you were thinking of. Just kidding. It did get me searching for days, althouth the "k" was a distraction.

@abu mohammed and shaikh muadh, I didn't get muadh bhai's joke :-( although due credit should also be given to my bro [deo grad] who was the one who said it was locusts but was short of time to send me the Ahadith.
jazakAllah khair.
