Hi,
Taken on 6th August 2009, it was at the top of my south facing window. It should be a Common Field Grasshopper Chorthippus brunneus, but matches exactly the sample as shown on David Elements gateway of a male BOW-WINGED GRASSHOPPER Chorthippus biguttulus BROWN FORM which was taken in France. The wing near the rear is bowed, not a continuous curve.

This of course is near Lincoln UK. All markings are identical to David Element's grasshopper as far as I can see.
