I have looked in several places for the name of this bug and can't find it. If you know please do tell!!!Raynox Macroscope Lens M-250

Taken in the butterfly house at London Zoo and uploaded for Macro Mondays "Pick two" theme.

I'm not sure what this is wasp/hornet - he was the largest I've ever seen. They were coming out of the ground and were about 2 inches long with big eyes.

I'd love to know what it is and hope someone can ID it for me.

Gray bird grasshopper

Legacy Park

This is an early stage grasshopper...when adults they are very large and gray. They are closely related to locusts. I found out this interesting info that It is an invasive species in Hawaii. A swarming event occurred on the Hawaiian island of Nihoa in 2004, wiping out almost 90% of the vegetation on the island. It was probably introduced to Hawaii several decades ago and then spread through the islands by flying; it has the ability to fly up to 300 miles.
