Indeed Alice!
Thanks Tamar!
It looks like a hopper to me. Interesting coloration.
Lttle man from outer space!
It was a very funky little guy! I wondered cricket too but it looks like it has ocelli & I've noticed these on other cricket nymphs.

Yeah, quite bizarre!

I couldn't get a decent shot of this one unfortunately - it kept moving towards me & out of focus!
You come up with some of the funkiest creatures. Do you live in another dimension or something?? ;-)
