This year seems to be a good one for crickets. This afternoon I found this female speckled bush cricket (Leptophyes punctatissima) on a leaf of our nasturtiums. (Much better than Mr Pooter finding a brick in the middle bed of geraniums).
I wondered if it might be eating the burgeoning population of large white caterpillars, but apparently they are wholly vegetarian.
It is remarkable how difficult it is to see such a large insect.
