NO UK STATUS / IUCN Red List: Not Yet Evaluated
A large and dopey looking bush cricket species - this individual was found on a tree at Kamakura - right next to the famous Buddha of Kamakura - a huge bronze statue of the Buddha that survived the temple it was built inside being washed away by a tsunami. This insect though was just on a tree behind it as we explored around the area, seemingly aimlessly plodding down the trunk.
