Re: Night-singing grasshopper sounds like a cicada - ID?

It certainly could be possible. After all, we've got a native species, but it's extremely rare, and resrticted to the New Forest (assuming it's not yet extinct). That species is very quiet, though, so it's not your beastie.

Have you been to talk to the neighbours? They might just let you search for it at night, and if you can only get a photo then the mystery is solved. Do they have any large trees, or is it all low plants?
