| 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. Roesel's Bush
Cricket arrived in the Nottinghamshire by the A453 near
Clifton during 2006 and the following year, was then
found at Collingham, Stoke Bardolph and Langford
Lowfields in August 2007. The high-pitched sound made by
the male is difficult to hear, but we found them even
more difficult to actually see. Persistence finally paid
off when we managed to photographed this male at Langford
Lowfields on 26/08/07. |
