| | | Identify my bug please
Hi guys i have found this bug in my garden and cannot find anything like it in the local libarys and wondered if any one could tell me what it is i have got pictures but dont know how to make the file size smaller so i can upload them so i can either email them or if some one can tell me how to make the image size smaller then i will post them....
Basically it is like a miniture armidllo with a large spike/horn at its rear it has 2 legs per side and is brown in colour from its head to the tip of its spike it is about 2.3cm or about an inch judging by its leg shape i would guess it is a jumping insect but to be honest i am not sure. if you want pictures my email is jonpaulparker@btinternet.com and i will send them (i have three) the insect is dead so i do have it in a container in my house...... |

Try a bush cricket, although I've never heard them described as miniature armadillos before...  |

If you can resize the photos to approx 1000 pixels wide by 96 pixels per inch and save as a Jpeg (say 80% quality) then Upload them, it would help. Go to the Gallery and click Upload Images then follow the instructions for Forum Images (blue).
This previous post may help if you have any problems http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/fo...otos-info.html
All insects have 6 legs (3 pairs) but they can sometimes lose legs.
A cricket is a possible answer. Could the large jumping hind legs have been overlooked as not actual legs? | | |
