Speckled Bush-Cricket

This is a first for me, as I've never seen one before. And it was quite obliging as a subject for photography. It didn't really hop about much, just crawled around in the Heleniums at Trentham Gardens.

I was looking for butterflies, but it was a bit on the cool side for them. To say I was excited to find this was putting it mildly. I do love a bug or creepy crawly!
