Field Grasshopper - Chorthippus brunneus
Can be green, grey or usually brown. Found in dry grasslands, heathland, moorland, farmland, parks, and towns and gardens. This grasshopper species song consists of short sequence of chips, not unlike time-signal pips. The sound produced by the grasshopper is made by rubbing its wings-cases against its legs, this process is known as 'stridulation'. The shorter antennae help to distinguish grasshoppers from bush-crickets. Can usually be seen from June to September.
