Terrific insect capture and contrasting colours. I thought grasshopper but I havent seen one for years . Would be good to enter for the Contrast theme.
Hi Hazel - this is a type of Bush Cricket. A female one with that curved ovipositor. Crickets have a much more 'squidgey' (technical term!) body than a grashopper. A great find and not doing too well on the camouflage thing!
