User's notes
The grasshopper was stationary on a rock face when a passing wasp bumped into it and continued on its way. The grasshopper didn't move until the wasp was well away from it. Thanks to Barbara for the initial sighting.

Long winged striped female. Was it in the burnt area where long winged forms predominate? The ichneumonid wasp wasn't really intested in the grasshopper.

Hi Roger. The grasshopper was at the end of the Fishing Gap road, at Fishing Gap saddle.
