Is this a grasshopper or a locust?

wow he is big

I think he´s a grass-whopper Irish !

Agree....well captured !

Sure looks like a grass hopper! We get some huge ones here ... during the long 'wet' we've just had, there was the usual horde of big ones munching their way through so many of the cordylines and a few other plants.

I´ve never seen a grass hopper that big before. We seem to be having a "long wet" here too - and I thought we were supposed to be in "sunny Spain" !!!
