Anyone know about grasshoppers?

Little green critters that I've seen twice this year.. On both
occasions in or near the house.
Not keen to jump prefer to crawl.. Looks like a green cricket but
book I ahve shows these with red eyes and says not found in Brit Isles?

Not worried about them, but I've not seen this type here before though
we get the ordinary brown 'whirry' kind in grass/undergrowth up at the
plot.

About an inch long (despite the pictures;-)

Yeah - don't know what make & model but we get them from time to time in our
garden in Ipswich (East Anglia). Actually quite a vivid lime green colour.

In fact, this year is the first time that I've also seen an 'ordinary' brown
one in the garden.

Is it just something about the weather this year but we seem to have more of
everything (flowers, butterflies, insects, flies...)??
