Bloody big Bug

KTRIC

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.

"Stupid bug, you go squish now."

But yeah, that'sa damn cool.

I remember in Barcelona on one of those bus tours i spent half an hour waching a shield bug bigger than my thumb crawl all over my bag, twas odd.
