This booklet has resulted from the amassing of a large amount of data for the Orthoptera in Rutland, (including a scattering of historical and casual reports prior to 1965), and provides provisional distribution maps for the grasshoppers and crickets in Rutland.
Phil Rudkin here illuminates the local history of the study of Orthoptera from the early ad hoc observations of individuals, through the advent of the more systematic use of bat detectors by the Rutland Natural History Society, to the expectant local searching when record from neighbouring counties show the arrival of new species on Rutland’s borders.
