Not entirely sure that these are both the same type of Cricket, as they have slight differences, but one has certainly lost a leg.

They do look the same . One is minus a back leg .
Both look like males :)
Well I'm not so sure they do look too similar, there are distinct differences in patterning and in the armour below the head.
Yes. The second one is a female. More patterning on the wing case. She is not showing her ovipositor in your photo.
Wood Crickets, Nemobius sylvestris, found at the Woodland Education Centre.
That's it.:) And by strange coincidence, they were in a wood.:)
Yes . :)
I thought the second one was a male because she wasn't showing her ovipositor but of course if she's not laying eggs , that would account for it :-doh
That must be a bit difficult, it's his jumping leg.
Well he can probably jump half as far at an angle :)
