Egyptian Locust (Anacridium aegyptium)

From wikipedia "Anacridium aegyptium, the 'Egyptian Locust', is a species belonging to the family Acrididae subfamily Cyrtacanthacridinae.

It is present in most of Europe, in the 'Afro-tropical ecozone', in eastern Palearctic ecozone, in the Near East and in North Africa.

It is one of the largest European grasshoppers. The adult males grow up to 30–55 millimetres (1.2–2.2 in) long, while females reach 65–70 millimetres (2.6–2.8 in) of length."
I found these in Crete in 2015. Some key ID points are the dark marks on the hind legs, the striped eyes and the dorsal stripe.
