What bug is this?

[OGIGA]

I saw two of these so far and I don't know what they are. Can someone help me identify this creature?

It looks to me like a grasshopper / locust possibly cross between cricket. I'm sure there's a scientific name for the particular specie but in general I would say it's a GRASS EATING Grasshopper / Locust / Cricket. It has the hind legs like those of a grasshopper/locust/cricket. Although it does look a bit like a cross between a grasshopper & a cricket. The head looks more friendly like a cricket rather than a robo (cyborgish) like head on a grasshopper (Hybrid grasshopper cricket). Is that one in the image in your possession?
