Kill it with fire!

Post by [SoE]_Zaitsev » May 27th, 2012, 11:35 am

What bug is this?

Caught this one while it was walking on the floor of a bakery, earning myself a free pizza bread.

It was about 8 CM. Pretty large, I haven't seen anything this large before.

Looks like an oversized cricket to me. Doesn't look like a roach either. It could also open its front mouth or something, 2 flaps, as if it's some kind of scizzor.

I would say it was some form of grasshopper. Weird looking mofo, but not a 'dirty' insect, so no problems eating your pizza bread :P

It couldn't jump either. Atleast, as far as I was aware.

Looks pretty nasty if you don't like insects anyway ha, free pizza bread though!

Edit: Looks like a Mole Cricket, completely harmless this says http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2011/10/28/ ... australia/

I'll post my picture on that website aswell.

I've looked on there a long time ago, kinda interesting to see what's walking around.
