    I was waiting on the bus this evening and seen this big fooking grass hopper. This thing was at least 6 inches long and had a massive wing span. I don't know how I got this clear pick because my hand was shaking.

    It took off for a moment and I couldn't find it, then I had my had on the top of my head and realised it was sitting on my head !!! :eek:

    Scary sh!t.

    I'm in East Munich, this thing was way bigger than a locust :eek:

    I have a vid of it crawling, I'll stick it up on youtube later. Theres a big man made lake in the park where I work and theres some massive dragon flies there, some where at least 6 inches or more.
