Phaneroptera falcata, the sickle-bearing bush-cricket , is a species of bush-cricket belonging to the family Tettigoniidae subfamily Phaneropterinae. It is herbivorous and commonly measures 24 to 36 mm long. It lives mainly in scrub and grasslands areas.[1]
Distribution
Phaneroptera falcata has been extending the northern limits of its range in mainland Europe in recent decades.[2][3] Vagrant adults are occasionally found in Britain, and a small, but apparently established, colony was discovered near Dungeness in Kent in 2015.[3]
