Roesel’s Bush-cricket
The Roesel's Bush-cricket is dark brown with orangey legs, a green face, a creamy border to the thorax and 2 or 3 cream spots on its sides. It is best recognised by its long, monotonous and mechanical song which can be heard from June to October in rough grassland, scrub and damp meadows.
Until the early 20th century, the Roesel's Bush-cricket was only found on the south east coast of the UK but in recent years there has been a rapid expansion in its range further north and west.
