Is this Cricket?

Why could this not happen on a Tuesday?
 
 
Just after breakfast (about ten o’clock) we spotted this large fly or hornet or something on the inside of the patio window.  On closer inspection we could see it was a cricket, and a bit of research (after both of us taking a load of photos) revealed it to be a female “Roesel’s Bush-cricket”.  Mrs W will be ‘recording’ it later today.
 
This was the best shot that I got (using a Close-up+2 lens on the EOS 24-105 lens).  It was taken on the patio table after we put her outside.
 
I just had to use the heavy crop for the blip.  A lesser crop is at extra.
