Woah! Forgot to update in a while; lucky you, you get a lot at once. A peaceable Peter Davidson. He’s in Dartmoor, just because I like Dartmoor, and so should you.
How to tell the difference between grasshoppers (top), crickets (middle), and katydids/bush crickets (bottom).
Cerci are spikes at the end of the abdomen, and while all three have them, they are often longer and more noticeable on crickets. You might see a third spike between them, which is an ovipositor and used for laying eggs!
Also, katydids are sometimes much more dramatically leaf shaped than the one pictured.
