| Crickets and
Grasshoppers belong to the order Orthoptera and
the current UK list contains around 30 species, including
several known migrants/accidentals. Nottinghamshire
currently has 15 species on it's list. The Field
Grasshopper is a very common and familiar grasshopper of
grassy areas and found across the whole of
Nottinghamshire. The lower photographs show two of the
nymph stages, including a pink form which can be found
occasionally. We have found the pink form on two
occasions, both at Warsop Main Pit Top, which has a large
population of Field Grasshopper. |
