Grasshopper
« on: September 25, 2006, 16:08:04 »
Been trying to get a picture of one of these since we got a camera. We brought some of them with us from our previous garden when we moved here. Not seen them that often and heard them far les frequently than we used to, still considering their size and speed, these are not too bad.
Gardening is the great leveller.

That looks like the Common Field Grasshopper, Chorthippus brunneus.
