Wildlife of the day: Grasshopper update

We've met Coryphistes sp. - Bark-Mimicking Grasshopper before but last night I came across one on the inside of the house. It obligingly stood quite still while I took some pictures of all the dust and cat fur gathering at the edge of our tiles.



This one's been through the wars a bit, but it seemed OK. ( i.e. it moved occasionally)

Got some interesting detail on mouth parts and feet:
