Nemobius sylvestris
- ... that despite being flightless, wood crickets appeared in 2001 at a site in southern England at which they had previously not been present? Source: "This Wood-cricket population is numerous and has been established on the heathland area for several years. It is undoubtedly a new population. The heathland area at the Centre was originally covered in a failed conifer crop with a dense Rhododendron understory. This type of habitat would have been totally unsuited to the Wood-crickets. The area was cleared in 1993 and has been managed ever since with the aim of restoring a natural heathland habitat to the area. The new Wood-cricket population was first recorded here in 2001."

Ref #2 states that the nearest known habitat to the new site is seven miles away. That fact should be incorporated into the article, and perhaps an alternative hook be proposed: "...appeared in 2001 at a site in southern England seven miles away from the nearest known population?" Other than that, qualifies as New, Is long enough, Hook has a citation, NPOV, and proposer has fulfilled QPQ. David notMD (talk) 23:08, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
- Template:Ping I hadn't noticed the proximity of the nearest previously known site, and I have amended the article. I don't like to use seven miles in the hook, it might be six or it might be eight. I would have thought my proposed hook is still suitable. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:11, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
