Saga hellenica

Thx Bayucca! i knew I could count on you! ;-)

I only know one genus in Europe with such large katydid/Tettigoniidae: Saga sp., in Central Europe and Southern Europe there is Saga pedo and in Greece it is typically Saga hellenica. Also quite variable and you have definitely a female (ovipostor).
