Large Marsh Grasshopper
Reference: GC4
Location: Wootton Coppice, New Forest
Gallery: Grasshoppers & Crickets,
Just like lots of grasshoppers and crickets this individual kept moving around the grass stem to avoid being seen properly. When this happens I find that one solution is to wave your hand to the side and the insect should hopefully move around away from your hand and into full view again.
