W T F is that?

[Acegadgets]

I delivered some veg to a pub today. While I was in the bar collecting the money for the goods I heard a scream and a "WTF is that" from the female chef in the kitchen.
I went into the kitchen to find this 10cm long insect on the worktop, that apparently had jumped out as she chopped the savoy cabbage in half .
I disposed of it for her outside and didn''t charge for the live exotic meaty feast.
Anyone know what it is?

Grasshopper. Jum jum.

Biggest grasshopper I've ever seen.
Afterwards I thought that perhaps it was some locust that may have let escape into the countryside that will now wipe out all of the crops in the area.

A locust is a type of grasshopper. There are about 8000 species of grasshopper.

It will now mate and make a million of them devastating the local environment. Nice one ace :-\
