is there an entomologist in the house?

[BenF]

can anyone help identify this creature?

is this in Vix's field?

current thoughts are a long winged conehead or an oak bush cricket; is there an easy way of telling them apart?

I can take the pics, I just don't know what they're all of!

It's a bug Ben, stamp on it quickly!!!

(Sorry Vix, I know I'll get a battering for that remark :lol

No idea I'm afraid (it's too terrestrial for me!) and I don't have a good insect book. Post it on facebook and my best friend will ID it for you though!

thanks Vix - is now posted on my fb page

Scotty, you've been watching too much Kung Fu (with David Carradine)!

thanks to those who helped - it turned out it was an oak bush cricket

That very much depends on the noises it makes. Could have been a Kate Bush Cricket:
