Lol you see the guts on her front legs :twisted:

 
cool pics

what kind of locust is that? Its not like commercially available species in the UK (maing Schistocerca (sp?) sp and Locusta sp - cant rember exact species atm)

 
It was caught outside... yeah believe it or not Houston is having record high today around 80F in December :shock: ... So occasionally we still have bugs outside. I have no idea what locust it is. I think i have made a mistake it is infact a Katydid instead. Not sure what species.

 
Looks exactly like the "katydids" we have here in the summer, which I believe is actually some sort of tree cricket. Great pics btw.
