What is this grasshopper thing?


Recommended Posts

At my parent's ranch in south Texas we have found some very large ones with main bodies in excess of 2" long.  With the legs and everything they look huge an menacing.

They have a nasty bite, so be careful if handling.

My mom used to call them clothes eater when she was little as I think her family attributed the work of moth's to these guys, even though the wiki says they don't do that.  Perhaps it's because they hung out in the cedar chests and dark closets where they stored their blankets and winter coats.
