I shall not put this beautiful great green bush-cricket under pests, since it seems to be a useful helper, being carnivorous, eating maggots and insects. It was climbing on my garden tool shelf, probably looking for the proper tool. It must be a male, the body plus wings were at least 5 cm long, the yellow antennas and the hind legs more than 10 cm long, some nice yellow stripes on the green wings. Fortunately, I did not try to hold it, the bite is said to be painful.
