Otherwise, the grasshoppers and crickets should still be around including some good ones like Large Marsh, Heath and Woodland Grasshoppers and Wood Crickets. You may be able to find second brood Small Pearl-bordered Fritillaries (Maybe Pearl-bordered Fritillaries too?) although it's a bit late for these, but there may still be some around!
