We found it near the mediterranean border between France and Spain. Me and a friend stopped our motorbikes to film it. The insect was eating another one like "him". It's horrible. This is a locust before it morphs into one, they are known for being cannibals as well. And if there is any insect in the world to fear it is locusts, they are as bad as a hurricane or some other natural disaster. | ||

Hah, well now I'm convinced. Please elaborate. I'll do the same: Open mouth -> insect walks in -> swallow. This is only one scenario of a number of possibilities. Exceptionally likely? Who knows, but with a small enough insect sure it's plausible. No one's suggesting you're going to accidentally choke down a goliath beetle or anything, (but feel free to try!). I personally ingested an ant inadvertently as a small child, and I was awake, so surely it is possible while sleeping. You may be being sarcastic of course, but there was no real place for it here so... | ||

Sorry you have to deal with stuff like that... I had a bug in my room once. It was a stinkbug, but kept flying around. Its wing buzzing noises drove me nuts. So I grabbed a lighter and set it on fire. I felt horrible afterwards, but my anger outranked my guilt. | ||

Most Locusts are herbivore and that's why they ruin crops in Africa. This thing is completly different. It is some large katydids ( also know as bush-crickets even if they aren't real crickets. They aren't grasshopper either. ) The main difference with grasshopper/locusts is that they have longer antennas and are omnivore. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tettigoniidae When i was a kid i caught one in the moutain ( a large specie living in the moutains in Southern France which was quite similar to the one in the vid except it was green ). I put it in a cage and i feeded it with dead flies, worms and some salad. They have big mandible and although you won't bleed if they bite you, you can feel it. The "stinger' they have is actually an harmless ovipositor for females. Hope that could help. edit: they are know as "sauterelles" in French. Some are small but some species can be as big as your thumb like the moffo in the vid. | ||
