Orthoptera


Leptophyes punctatissima - Speckled Bush Cricket
U.K / Europe
Adult Size: 10 - 20mm
Feed on: Leaves & flowers from most shrubs.
We mainly use grasses, large daisy like flowers, brambles and anything else we find in the garden.

Not as impressive as the larger tropical ones that we keep, but still fascinating to watch and easy to keep.
They cannot fly and they live happily in a mesh / net cage that we use for stick insects.
