Giant Grasshopper!

Short-Horned Grasshopper

Grasshoppers, especially big sized ones like these, looms images of "God-send plague of locusts" on my mind and sent shivers down my spine, every time.

Although a search on the Internet proved this species not the one that swarm and destroy crops, their many pictures on the Internet were still creepy!


This palm-length fellow sat in my garden this evening; of a size that our common Sparrow and Myna will find hard to shallow. Eeeek!
