喺臺灣，網絡遊戲魔獸世界嘅臺灣玩家亦以「蝗蟲過境」來形容大批中國玩家翻牆湧入臺灣伺服器而搞到伺服器不勝負荷嘅現象。呢個用法比香港網民使用「蝗蟲」仲早。
In Taiwan, Taiwan players in the online game World of Warcraft also used "locust transit" to describe the phenomenon of a large number of Chinese players pouring into Taiwan's servers and overloading the servers. This usage predates the use of "locust" by Hong Kong netizens.
