    Good camera angles.

    It is a wingless species, well very short wings anyway, so possibly a Speckled Bush Cricket but I would need to see the rear end to be certain.

    With those very long antennae it is certainly a cricket not a grasshopper.

    I was about to ask the same as Jim here...I was guessing either salt or snow.... I love #1 in that you put that very long antennae positioned right at the corner...

    Cheers Geoff, thanks again for a proper I.D, it's probably me being Scottish that I'm not familiar with cricket (s)

    Thought I would pitch in as it had me stumped but its over now. Howzat....

    I prefer the first photograph mainly because I find the range of greens and background work better for me.

    Cheers L,Paul, you have bowled me over with your comments

    Yes the first one looks better in a more natural background

    Re: Grasshopper's!

    Because of the background #1 is my pick but both images nice and sharp where it counts an great POV.
    Great work David

    I was wondering who was going to be an umpire - they are always guessing...
