Hi,

As promised, an image of (I hope my ID is correct :biggrin: ) a Dark Bush Cricket. Tried hard to get one out in the open but they wouldn't play ball...

All the best

Nice, i used to get them in my garden on the bears britches, i spent many an evening, catching and looking at them.

Nice shot, of what can be a hard to spot animal!

Btw its a female, but i'm 99% you already knew that :wink:
