‘[…] Ted Benton's entomological opus Grasshoppers & Crickets led me
into the weird world of British orthoptera, with their edible
nuptial gifts, "mate-guarding", harems and extraordinarily complex
songs. No field or meadow will seem or sound the same again.’
Robert Macfarlane, ‘Books of the Year 2012’, Guardian ‘An
outstanding contribution […] The DVD a groundbreaking
achievement.’
British Wildlife Praise for the New Naturalist series: 'The series
is an amazing achievement.'
