👀 About the event
Would you like to confidently identify what you’re hearing and seeing? Here’s a starter tip:
☀️ If you hear them during the day, it’s probably a grasshopper (they’re diurnal).
🌆 If it’s at dusk, it’s most likely a cricket (they’re crepuscular).
🌱 Grasshoppers are mostly herbivorous, so you’ll spot them on grass and other vegetation. Come along to learn what to look (and listen!) for to help you tell them apart.
