Field Notes

Notes:

Every year round about September / October, we have a multitude of these in our garden. They are very slow moving and sluggish and favour sitting in dense ivy climbing up a back garden wall.

Clean macro! Looks like the toxic grasshopper I've read about, that 'foams' when irritated.
