Little grass hopper

did somebody step on him?

Hi Sheila, I can never tell a grasshopper from a cricket, I think the only difference is the length of their antennae, [longer on a cricket if I remember rightly], Derek.

Haven't seen one of those for years. You used to hear lots of them out in the countryside in the summer. I wonder what happened? Nice to know there are still some around.

I haven't seen one of them for years. Things seem to be dying out.
My old cat Fluffy used to catch them and crunch them like sweets ! :(

Used to have a lot of these when the grass was longer....

One of these was foolish enough to hop through my back door yesterday. I'm afraid that was the end for it & a sort of After Eight for my cat!

Oh dear......it must be a delicacy for cats!!
