Field Guide to the Grasshoppers and Allies of Great Britain and Ireland : Grasshoppers, Crickets, Earwigs, Cockroaches, Mantids and Stick-insects

An illustrated reference guide that will enable confident identification of British Orthoptera. Grasshoppers are conspicuous for their giant leaping movements, bright colours and song. There has never been a better time to study these insects in Britain: over recent decades some species have declined, others have expanded their ranges and there have even been new discoveries of species that have come across from mainland Europe. This pioneering guide lays bare the complexities of identification of the 80 or so species that may be encountered in the British Isles.
