The message
from Dave Poole contains these words:


Of less interest, I can't remember ever seeing so many green crickets
as this year. Most are recently emerged and are everywhere in the
garden. Usually see several a week at this time of year and hear far
more at night, but anything up to 20 a day are popping up all over the
place and if I open the outside door to the utility room with the
light on, it doesn't take long before half a dozen or so fly inside.

Probably the result of climate change, just be glad none of those
locusts blew/flew over from France :-)

Janet.
