Thank you, Martin, these is precious info. I think that it won't be hard to ID such a large insect.

Sergio, I do not know exotic species but I will guess you have an adult, based on size. It would be a wingless species. It is female, as a male will have a lump on the ventral surface of its terminal abdominal segment like this one http://pet-tales.co.uk/hints-tips/theyre...
