Sorry, I am unable to help with this one. I don’t know my crickets.
Thanks Mark. Nor do I, unfortunately, though I add that to a long list of flora and fauna …
Looks like a Dark Bush cricket, we see a lot of them around at the moment in long grass. We’ve read that the difference between a grasshopper and cricket is that crickets tend to have very long antennae and grasshoppers are short.
Thank you, I’ve spotted them before and will go with that.
