Tiger Grasshoper on Cypress Knee

This critter is big enough to gnaw off your thumb and finger without pausing. The Cypress Knee he's perched on is about one foot tall, so you can see the perspective. There seems to be some meat on his bones, I mean, some guts in his exoskeleton.

What with global warming, December stresses, and all the related gloom & doom from a campaign year, is this another sign of the apocalypse? Imagine the sky filled with these things, then make sure to eat your veggies today, while you still can...
Hear that buzzing sound? They’re coming your way!

PS: I made up the name “tiger grasshopper” just because it’s descriptive.
