What is this?



Is this a cricket, a cicada, or something else? - It makes a loud chirping sound, especially in the middle of the day when the sun hits it. The body is about 2 inches long. And there's this long thin thing sticking out of its head. I can't see any wings. Photographed on Sipan Island, Croatia, July 2009

It has long antennae, so I'd say it's a cricket, rather than a grasshopper.
It also looks similar to google image search cricket images
