• The White-faced Bush Cricket is a large and very heavily built but rather unobtrusive insect which belongs to the same genus (Decticus) as the Wart Biter. Several individuals were photographed and none made any effort to move. Although the female in the first picture is a final instar nymph the dimensions of her fearsome looking ovipositor are already obvious! These bush crickets were found near Cantobre in the South of France.
