Great green bush cricket

August 22, 2019August 21, 2019 barryhLeave a comment

It was quite a shock to come across this large insect, nearly 2 inches long, in the bathroom during a short stay in Brittany. Insect intruders are quite common, but not usually that big. It is a great green bush cricket (or katydid).

See the remarkably long antennae.

Fortunately there was a glass and piece of card large enough to put over the insect to enable its safe removal from the house.

 

 

Blue Damselfly

There were several of these blue damselflies flitting about by the water at Huelgoat, Brittany.

The effects of the strong sunlight give such different effects that it is difficult to believe the photographs are of the same sort of insect.

This is a broad-winged damselfly, different from the narrower transparent wings of common UK damselflies. Is it a banded demoiselle?

This beautiful golden yellow damselfly was in the woods at Huelgoat in Brittany.
