Think I saw one of those in Alien... Look out :)

Your photographs don't give much idea of the size of the beast. If it's a few inches long it's most likely to be a grasshopper. Any bigger and it may be a locust. Either way they are harmless unless there's squillions of them and you are a plant.

Or an Egyptian in Biblical times
-
It's an adult female wingless katydid in the family Tettigoniidae

Today's interesting fact:
A grasshopper only becomes a locust when it's in a swarm. You can't have a single locust.

Best to deal with it as the Turks suggest... " if it moves, kill it " ;)

Thanks KKOB, very informative 8)
-
I saw one of those a couple of months ago - I was told it was a predatory bush cricket.
Not very nice for some other critters but harmless to us....although the one I saw looked pretty aggressive and scared the dogs! ;D
-
The picture is of an "ordinary" Bush Cricket.
If it was a Predatory Bush Cricket it would have much longer front legs and the entire body and legs would be covered in "spikes".
-
My ex wife once had a dose of predatory bush cricket - it looked pretty much like KKOB has described it. ;D
-
Just compared photos to mine - yes, the one I saw is a bit different (and scarier!).
Thanks for highlighting the difference, I'm finding it interesting to see all the different species. :)

This is - I think! ;)

Yep.

Look at F in size of it!!!. If I came out of that door and saw that on my wall I would sh*t myself
-
It's on a window isn't it?
-
Ha-haha,! Yes SteveJ - I resized it to see it close up and this is how it looked! Weird illusion though. ;)
-
I knew that ;)
