 I came across this huge (~10cm) grasshopper in the Tsaris mountains in Namibia in August. It might be a flightless species or a nymph - anyone know family/sp.?

 I think a nymph of Pyrgomorphidae.
While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
