A Speckled Bush-cricket Leptophyes puntatissima. (Corrected from the Short-winged Conehead: Thanks Susan)
Normally found in gardens, It is the first one we have noticed.
We like the Kukri knife shaped ovipositor!! Its a good job its not ten times larger...

I'm not convinced this is a Short-winged Conehead. I think it is a Speckled Bush-cricket Leptophyes puntatissima. Check out the thicker ovipositor, which I think matches better. Habitat matches better too.
The flowers you brought for me are still bloomin lovely...
I've been amazed how long they last indoors, even in the hot weather. They've been a real delight and I will certainly grow them again next year.
