The Isles of Scilly has enhanced its reputation as an area of biodiversity after two nature devotees found a rare cricket on the islands.
Ren Hathway and Paul Stanclife found the large cone-headed cricket on St Marys.
This is thought to be the first recording of the insect in Britain, as they usually inhabit much warmer climates.
The male has a loud mating call which can be heard up to two miles away although no females have been found as of yet.
A formal identification will be undertaken when a sample is sent to the Natural History Museum in London.
