Anostostoma australasiae (Giant King Cricket)

I cannot find a lot of information on the web about this not so little dude. But i can tell you that its nippers are the size of my thumb nail and it loves to jump!!! They reach a maximum body length of 7cm... not including legs! I know it does not sound all that big, but get a ruler out, find the 7cm mark and then imagine a cricket with a body length of that!

Anonymous.......if you critise that's cool, but perhaps constructive critism with something to back up your point would be more appropriate. Where's your photography site???
