Description

Thanks for viewing !! :o) -- Speckled Bush Cricket, Leptophyes punctatissima This specimen is still in its nymph state, its bodylength was about 2 - 3 mm. But ive seen it jump more than 10 cm far, very impressive for such a small creature :o) Spends most of its day concealed in undergrowth, shrubs and coarse vegetation where due to its passive nature and natural camouflage it is rarely seen. Not only is it rarely seen but it is also rarely heard since its call is barely audible from a metre away. It is a largely vegetarian species. The eggs are inserted, in late summer, into tree bark or plant stems where they remain over winter. The nymphs emerge in May and June and mature by mid August. It is most commonly to be found in hedgerows and around the margins of woodlands, but it also frequents gardens and parks. It seems to be particularly fond of secreting itself away within the in-rolled, immature seed heads of Wild Carrot, Daucus carota. Hope you like :o) - Thanks for all your wonderful comments on my last upload, "Tiger Cranefly" !! -- Many thanks, Jeroen
