Locust pic from Menorca

[Pablo]

This fella (?) came to visit us during lunch when we were on hols in Menorca last week (much to Mrs Pablo's disgust - especially when Pablo spent most of lunch trying to photograph it). Pretty sure it's a Migratory locust. Anyone else any other ideas?

Cheers,

Pablo.

Nice photo. Wikipedea says they are rare in europe

If your wife finds them disgusting on dinner table, try frying them first, they are supposed to be delicious.
