In August I took some pictures of a couple of grasshoppers. I had seen grasshoppers and crickets before but had struggled to photograph and ID them. I also struggled to identify the first one from my photograph - mainly because it didn't seem to fit with the ones in my insect book. I had another go today and in fact it wasn't in the book at all but seems to be a Lesser Marsh Grasshopper (Chorthippus albomarginatus)with a distinctive white line along its wing. The other grasshopper is a brown form of the same species as opposed to the green form shown above.
