I saw a grasshopper/cricket in the Kootenays that I have never seen before - it is a large grasshopper sixe, very long legs and about 8 or 10 very prominent 'plates' that are wrapper around the body [curved plates].
Dark brown.
Most unusual - for me at least - a long protruding thing out the back end, I guess it is the female egg-laying gadget { a positor?] - it is nearly as long as the entire body!!

Is it an invader
