Saw insects at the AES, but I don't know what they were....

Hi

First off, this topic is not about t's. But I wasn't sure who else to ask.

At the AES convention last October at Kempton Park race course, there were like, these large green insects that were housed in enclosures filled with leaves? They kept on making clicking/chirping noises and I believe they were fairly large as insects go. Maybe about the size of my hand?

Does anybody who was present at last years convention know what I may be talking about? As I was looking for tarantulas at the time I didn't bother asking the name of the species, but am now broadening my collection past *just tarantulas, and want to know more about this species.

If anybody knows what species I may be or am talking about, information on them (a name would be helpful!) or caresheets would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
