Is this the bad guy in A Bugs Life?

I believe Hopper is a grasshopper.

Jerusalem Crickets (potato bugs) are: Insecta> Orthoptera > Ensifera > Stenopelmatidae > Stenopelmatinae > Stenopelmatini > Ammopelmatus

And grasshoppers are: Insecta> Orthoptera > Caelifera > Acrididea > Acridomorpha > Acridoidea

So, not unrelated, but you have to go a fair ways back.

Jerusalem crickets can only jump about 4 inches (one inch more than their body length) and mostly just toddle around slowly when they aren’t digging for rotting roots to eat.

Jerusalem Crickets are terrifying looking.

Well, they can bite through woody roots, so you shouldn’t offer them a finger, but they mostly just trundle away looking for cover if you come across one.

They remind me of a toddler in a cricket costume, that sort of wants to also be a bumble bee.

adorable! TIL that there's a creature called a jerusalem cricket, and that they're not from jerusalem, and that they're not crickets! :D

i hope this li'l friend can moult and get their second antenna back 🤞

First time I saw one of these things I thought it was some kind of giant ant and I was terrified that there would be thousands more of them.

Not cool.

Aren’t they? They are huge and startling (about 3 inches/7cm long) but I think they’re just precious.

Yes, fingers crossed for a new antenna, I always wonder how they keep them on while digging tunnels with their faces.

That would be upsetting. Luckily they are fairly solitary.
