Common Groundhopper Tetrix undulata
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 and although the Common Groundhopper is fairly widespread around the Sherwood Forest area, we have found this species much less often than Slender Groundhopper. Groundhoppers are much smaller than adult Grasshoppers and easily missed. These were photographed at Warsop Main Pit Top in July 2009 and Budby South Forest in 2011.
