OLIVER GREER MEASURES A GIANT BUSH CRICKET AT THE SANTA FE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM!

This is the giant South American Bush Cricket, Panoploscelis specularis from Peru, out of my awesome insect collection on display at the Santa Fe Children's Museum.

I bought this unmounted specimen from www.insect-sale.com in 2010.

Please note that the camcorder's lens distorts when in extreme close up. The measurements I quote on camera ARE accurate, but the lens's parallax distortion makes the insect look shorter.

Enjoy the video, thanks for watching, and stay tuned for more videos to come!
