Morning horror...


At 4:30am I felt something tickling behind my right ear... Without really waking up, I brushed it away. Could have been a fly or some other small insect.
At 5am I woke up because something was crawling up my left leg... A scorpion? A snake?
I was fully awake within a few seconds and jumped out of bed!
After a few minutes we had captured the monster... A totally harmless insect, a koringkriek. It has been described as an armored insect, grasshopper or whatever... But not nice in bed!
It is about 5cm long!!!!
