(Heb. gazam). The English word may denote either a caterpillar (as rendered by the LXX.), which wanders like a palmer or pilgrim, or which travels like pilgrims in bands (Joel 1:4; 2:25), the wingless locusts, or the migratory locust in its larva state.

ISBE 1915
From the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (1915). Where it reports or adopts critical theories, those are the views of its writers or the scholars they cite; Gospel Companion holds the historic Christian view of Scripture.
pam'-er-wurm (gazam; Septuagint kampe (Am 4:9; Joe 1:4; 2:25)): "Palmer-worm" means "caterpillar," but the insect meant is probably a kind of locust.
See INSECTS; LOCUST.
