Esther, it seems to be managing O.K. though, maybe it had a lucky escape from a predator.

It is a male Dark Bush-cricket. It is a omnivore so you may not want it in your greenhouse.

It made me smile when I saw this thread. Their habitat is normally nettle-beds and rough vegetation, this one must be having a bit of a crisis if it is in Esthers garden ;D
