Simon Stirrup, ace photographer around these parts, sent these belting photos of a Great Green Bush Cricket at Aldreth.

I have only seen one of the emerald beasts before, many summers ago at Marazion in Cornwall.  I searched out the pics as I remember getting my little Lumix snappy camera down into the grass to get a Crickets eye view. 



Staying on the Cricket front this Speckled Bush Cricket was brought to me by one of the children at school, not unusual but the first I've seen.
