A large male Anabrus found in the upper foliage of a rose bush an hour before dawn. This specimen chirps when handled. A possible defense mechanism?

Anabrus longipes
This species can be recognized by the very long hind legs and the shape of the male cerci. The chirping is an alarm response, maybe a warning. A powerful bite will follow if the opportunity presents.
