This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

They had (eichan). Imperfect active, late form as in Mar 8:7 in place of the usual eichon.

As hair of women (hōs trichas gunaikōn). That is long hair (1Co 11:15), with no reference to matters of sex at all, for anthrōpōn just before is used, not andrōn (men as distinct from women). Perhaps the antennae of the locust were unusually long.

As the teeth of lions (hōs leontōn). Supply hoi odontes (the teeth) before leontōn. See Joe 1:6. The locust is voracious.
