Large Cricket

The insect order orthoptera includes grasshoppers (liver on ground or grass; short antennae), crickets (ground dwelling), katydids and others. Katydids are arboreal, nocturnal and have long antennae. This is a katydid. I think it is the same as the well noted specimen on latimerias cap. I don't have an exact match but this one (called spiny lobster) is very close. http://www.flickr.com/photos/artour_a/2239190666/

I found one but mine didn't move even when i touched it http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7548047

It looks similar to some of the katydids I found in Costa Rica, namely one from La Selva (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6582129) and Bribri (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/5753329). Can't say for sure though.

It's a female, they use the knifelike organ to lay their eggs in the ground, the males don't have these organs. Good spotting!

Wow, amazing cricket Yasser..
