This picture was taken on a backpack. The body is ~ 2 in. long, and the antennae are roughly 6 in. across. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Totally Awesome.
This is a rather rarely photographed insect called a "humpwinged grig," or "sagebrush cricket" in the genus Cyphoderris. I believe we have some other images in the guide. Nice find! These insects are generally restricted to the Cascade Mountains and Northern Rockies.

Re:
The location sounds right on. We were in a remote part of the N. Cascades in some high alpine lakes when we saw several of these. Thanks for the ID!
