Field Grasshopper

One of the many we have jumping around the garden. They do eat plants but do very little damage.

What a handsome chap, great pic:-)

Wow he is big......

Very handsome! Do they make that great noise that always reminds me of being on holiday?

Yes they do! At night in midsummer it can be deafening because there's that many around us. Great fun watching the cat trying to catch them though!

oooh I love that noise - reminds me of hot summer nights in Greece which right now is a long way from a cold and very wet Scotland!

Well they're not rubbing their legs together here tonight - it's raining!
