Hi Catherine,
Welcome to TN!
Most of this giant cricket is shown and most of it is sharp in this shot.
It would be nice to know how large you thought this was and maybe to have the whole insect in this shot.
By the way, you can tell this is a cricket and not a grasshopper by the very long antennae. Many crickets are carnivorous: it would be interesting to know what the diet of this giant is.
Thanks for sharing this interesting shot.
Regards, Ivan
