Do you hear any grasshoppers these days?

Question

Even in the area I live and being in the garden, I never hear them like I used to.

Answer 1

Not sure if they are grasshoppers or crickets, but in the park next to my house, in West London there are loads in the long grass, there are tracks through the long grass where I walk my dog and you can really hear them there, on a hot day at least. There is also a family of Parakeets in the trees, and bats at night, foxes and crows and geese and seagulls nearby. A great place.

Answer 2

i haven't hear-ed any since in England at all for years and i live next to a field and woods the only time i hear-ed them was when i was in gran Canaries last year and there was thousands of them but not hear. i remember when i was akid there used to be loads we used to catch them in jars and take them to school for show and tell we used in have a problem where my parents used to find them in our house most days SO i wonder what has happened to them

Answer 3

I haven't heard them recently (although I have moved to a more built up area now). That said, we did have one in our bathroom last week! :)

Answer 4

Yes we hear them often especially at night.

Answer 5

They must all be in my garden then because on a hot day they can be deafening.

Answer 6

Could be they've already mated so no use making noise to attract a mate.

Answer 7

Haven't heard one for yonks Cheshire UK

Answer 8

Yeh... but maybe you don't hear them because they don't sound as loud or they don't usually make sound in this season....

Answer 9

I was in Spain recently and it was a crescendo
