Orthoptera find of the decade
A breeding colony of the sickle-bearing bush-cricket (Phaneroptera falcata) has been found at Hastings Country Park. This is the first time a breeding colony has been found in Britain and has been described by Dr John Paul, our Sussex county Orthoptera recorder, as the “find of the decade”.
