It's a female Roesel's bush cricket. The border of the 'saddle' varies in intensity between pale cream and light yellow. There's also a green form where the border is also green. You can find fully winged adults in hot summers but I haven't seen one round here since 2006! |

Are you sure he/she's female? I've observed one today in South London's Ladywell Cemetery and have later confirmed online that my similar 'short-winged' Bush Cricket is a 'Mr. Roesel'. |

These are wonderful insects, the grass verges in Rutland are alive with them this year. | | |
