The number of species of grasshopper and crickets on Scilly is rather low compared to Devon but there are plenty of individuals.
This is a great green bush cricket – a large species around 2″ long – they make a lot of noise with their audible song but can be very hard to see
This is the long winged cone head – only arrived on Scilly around 20 years ago but now seems to be everywhere
This is the field grasshopper – ubiquitous on the islands and the only species of grasshopper recorded here
