I thought this Bush Cricket looked particularly interesting, almost like a hand written signature!

It's carnivorous and though it looks like a grasshopper it prefers to eat grasshoppers rather than grass.
The nasty looking spike at the end of the abdomen is an ovipositor used to place eggs into the soil; not a fearsome stinger. Typically they hunt at night and during the day, rest on branches and the like pretending to be leaves.
good shot

Yeah, most of these crickets are vegetarian but some groups are 100% carnivorous!
Then there's that group of caterpillars that eat meat in Hawaii, that's really bizarre too.

Some them do! Some bush crickets get quite large and would have no problem with a small or young grasshopper.
