Context of Exodus 10:18
16Then Pharaoh quickly called Moses and Aaron to come to him. He said, ‘I have done bad things against the Lord your God and against you. 17Please forgive my sins just one more time. Ask the Lord your God to remove this punishment of death from me.’ Moses left Pharaoh and he prayed to the Lord. 19Then the Lord changed the wind to a very strong west wind. This wind lifted the locusts up and it blew them away into the Red Sea. Not one locust remained in all the country of Egypt. 20But the Lord caused Pharaoh's mind to become hard again. Pharaoh would not let the Israelites go.

Who then is able to stand before the great God? They covered the face of the earth, and ate up the fruit of it. Herbs grow for the service of man; yet when God pleases, insects shall plunder him, and eat the bread out of his mouth.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-20The eighth plague was the plague of locusts (10:4). Enough time had passed since the previous plague for the wheat and spelt to sprout (see 9:32).
