Southern Oak Bush-cricket was first seen in the UK in 2001 and is gradually spreading. There are still only very few Norfolk records so I was somewhat chuffed to find one in our back garden in Pulham Market on Friday afternoon!
Easily identifiable from the common Oak Bush-cricket by the lack of wings (actually they are present but just as small stubs) I managed a few less than perfect shots before it hopped away.
Also around the garden our Stone Parsley is having another good year and a quick bug hunt revealed Small Dusty Wave moth, a brief visit from a Hummingbird Hawkmoth, Eurasian Running Crab Spider, Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle and False Oil Beetle.
