Great Green Bush-cricket Nymph
Tettigonia viridissima (nymph)
The nymph lives among grasses, nettles, and shrubs, where its bright green body blends closely with fresh leaves. It feeds on tender plant material and small soft-bodied invertebrates, using quick jumps to escape danger. Unlike the adult, it lacks fully developed wings and does not make the loud breeding song. It molts several times as it grows, gradually developing longer wing buds and stronger jaws.
