Insect shows up from time to time indoors. I've seen small (baby) versions before, but this is the biggest. Body is about one inch in length. Long, strong legs let it jump quite a distance. Antennae are very long (several inches). I live in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA. Thanks for your assistance.
