Grasshopper

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

There are eleven species of grasshopper native to Britain. They vary in length from 20 to 30mms depending on the species. I cannot recall the last time I saw a British Grasshopper. So I’m pleased to have seen this on on my Chilli plants, and I’ve photographed it for you!

This could be a young Common Field Grasshopper, Chorthippus brunneus?
