Saddle-backed bush-cricket
Like grasshoppers, crickets were numerous and varied in Provence. The saddle-backed bush-cricket (Ephippiger ephippiger) can be identified from the sharply defined black line at the back of the head. This large female is pictured on the hand of 11 year old James. (All of the pictures in this gallery were taken in the garden of 'La Roque', near Ginasservis in Provence, southern France in 2004.)
