Grasshoppers and Crickets

Ted Benton

Collins

2012

"Ted Benton offers a comprehensive account of the appearance, variations, behaviour, habitat, life-cycles and distribution of all the native British species of bush-crickets, crickets, groundhoppers and grasshoppers. Many details from direct field observation are included, which are published here for the first time. A unique DVD features many aspects of the behaviour of nearly all British species, including song, conflict, courtship behaviour, sex-role reversal and egg laying. The book is lavishly illustrated with colour photographs and line drawings, covering all the British species (including immature stages in most cases), key habitats and many aspects of behaviour."

The Grasshoppers, Bush-crickets and Allies of Dorset

Bryan Edwards

2011

"Dorset is the most well represented county in Britain for orthopteran fauna. Only the Leeser Mottled Grasshopper, field Cricket and Short-winged Earwig have not been recorded in this county. This atlas therefore provides coverage of the majority of British species, with accounts for 32 resident species. Includes detailed species accounts and a section on habitats and sites in Dorset. "

A Photographic Guide to the Grasshoppers and Crickets of Britain and Ireland

Martin Evans and Roger Edmondson

2007

"A field guide to the grasshoppers and crickets found in Britain, Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. The book includes photographs and life histories of all the resident, vagrant and introduced species. There is also a descriptive section covering the species with 'one off' records and those that may appear in these islands in the near future. The photographs include the adults, nymphs and colour forms, accompanied by a description of their identification features and the identifying features of similar species. There is a full colour, 'easy access' photographic key to the adults, for quick and easy identification. The early chapters cover orthopteran biology, habitats, useful equipment and photography. The book is an A5 hardback, has 183 pages and over 580 photographs in full colour, plus distribution maps of the resident species."
