Oak
Bush Cricket Meconema thalassinum
(De Geer, 1773)  |
| 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 Oak Bush
Cricket is fairly commonly distributed across much of
Nottinghamshire, probably being most common in the
Sherwood Forest area. It does occasionally turn up in
more suburban areas and is regularly found on the walls
of Worksop Priory. This is relatively easy Cricket to
find, often exposed on the trunks of trees or walls of
buildings. |
