Oh man, I get the willies just looking at it. It's like an evil wingless grasshopper.

I don´t think we have any common name on them here in Denmark...I have been searching on the net to see if I could find one, but no.

what do they eat

 

[GekkoGalaksen]

In the wild it eats leaf from Schinus terebinthifulius...a plant/tree that produce some kind of pink pepper. But we can´t get that here so we give them branches with liguster, liliac and oak leafs...and they seems to like that

What a stunning insect! i bet its erally fun to observe. Those bright eyes are so neat as well.
I'm personally a huge fan of the big moth species, the ones with wingspans as long as an adults hand.
