| Crickets and Grasshoppers belong to the order Orthoptera and the current UK list contains around 30 species, including several known migrants/accidentals. The Long-winged Cone-head is a large species. Nottinghamshire's first record of this rapidly spreading species, came in August 2007 when it was first discovered at Keyworth Meadow in the far south of the county. It was then found at Attenborough Nature Reserve and spread north-east up the Trent Valley over the next few years. In August 2011, it was discovered at Shirebrook Pit Wood by Roy Frost, where these photographs were taken. | ||
