The posters of this youtube video found this strange creature on the road, neat the border of France and Spain. What can this be?

At first I thought "Jerusalem Cricket" but those are mostly in North America. I remembered Jerusalem Crickets look like Mimnermidae which are sometimes called King Crickets (orthopteran - grasshopper). They look similar but I don't think they are reported outside of the Australian ecozone.

It's Ephippiger ephippiger, quite common in mainland Europe, especially southern France. A noisy bush cricket.
