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."
