One of the most common insects to be found worldwide. They're very noisy little !!!!!!s and you've heard them a million times before, particularly at night whistlingaway. Can you guess ?

Good evening. I'm sorry I don't know the answer to this - 'fraid I'm no entomologist - but sure fellow people will know! (Just thought I'd quote it so the little thing helps scare people by appearing twice*:eek::rotfl::rotfl: - that's a point - we can't see how big it is - or isn't - from that picture, but glad it's safely trapped inside:)!)

Multis now back well in excess of 3,000 on msm (out and in), my hunch is the updating into the APG happens between 8pm and 8.20pm, so sadly doesn't look like it's going to be big glitch time tomorrow - might be the odd item here and there...

*[Edit: I see the thing is now here five times - this one could run and run (if only... from its point of view.)]

:eek: it's freaking us out and is underneath the glass still while mum and I itch and freak out. Think it's now a speckled bush cricket, leptophyes punctatissima... Eurgh.

Our DD has a bearded dragon, he would rather like this insect

The annoying thing is there is one hiding in his vivarium, been noisy night after night, wish he would eat the thing!
