Saw-backed locust

[Callie]

Saw-Backed Locust nearly perfectly camouflaged on the tarmac in Kruger NP. I could not find a lot on the net about this species. About 50 mm, 2". D500; 500 PF; F/13; 1/800; ISO 720

The amazing thing is that we saw it doing about 35 kmh! I just had to turn around to shoot him!
