This is a seriously menacing picture! If you wanted to stir up some scares, tell people these guys are big enough to eat bunnies in the wild. :o_O:

Loving your thread!
I am really glad you like it! :D And yeah, that looks like flesh, not a cute leafhopper lol! I can see it on a Fox News article all ready! :)

Man you take some nice pictures! :) If you find anymore of those Carolina leaf rolling crickets, could you try to breed them? They are carnivorous, and should be rather easy to care for. I really want to see these in the hobby, they are just so cool looking! :D
