Common green grasshopper (Omocestus viridulus)

            An invertebrate of damp meadows, woodland rides and hillside pastures, the Common green grasshopper is widespread in the uplands, but has a more patchy distribution, and may be declining, in the lowlands. It is the earliest grasshopper to appear in the spring, hatching in April and moulting into adult form in June. Males can be seen displaying to females by rubbing their legs against their wings to create a 'song' - in this case, it is a long, loud, 'churring' noise. After mating, the eggs are laid in the soil ready to hatch the following spring.
The Common green grasshopper is mostly green, but sometimes has brownish sides. Most grasshoppers are best identified by their songs: the Common green grasshopper's characteristic long, loud song lasts 20 seconds or more, and sounds like the ticking of a free-wheeling bicycle.
