Egyptian Locust / Egipatski skakavac

It is one of a dozen species that may be called a locust during its swarming phase. It is present in most of Europe, in the 'Afro-tropical ecozone', in eastern Palearctic ecozone, in the Near East and in North Africa.
It is one of the largest European grasshoppers. The adult males grow up to 30 - 55 mm long, while females reach 65 -70 mm this one was surely over that and I would say definitely around 10 cm. Their body is usually gray, brown or olive coloured, the antennae are relatively short and robust. Tibiae of the hind legs are blue, while femora are orange. The hind femora have characteristic dark marks. It is easily identifiable also by the characteristic eyes with vertical black and white stripes. The pronotum shows a dorsal orange stripe and several white small spots. The wings are clear with dark marks. Although wikipedia says that adults can mainly be encountered in August and September in warm and dry habitats, I guess is enough warm and dry now since I've spotted it in April.
