Mad Hopper

I was in Kota Kemuing visiting a friend's shop last week.  As soon as he saw my camera he grabbed it and ran outside, like a boy rushing to buy paddle pop ice cream from the motorcycle vendor.

I followed him to see what the fuss was all about and saw thet he was trying to get a picture of a huge grasshopper, resting on a wooden crate frame, together with piles of rubbish.  It was about 2.5 inch long.

Being unfamiliar with my camera he got all the focus wrong so I took the pictures for him.

Lookt at those sharp hooks

Now you know what the fuss was all about.

    From the size, I guess it's a female grasshopper...
