The mole cricket spends most of its life burrowing underground. The latest example, found in Luton, Beds, is only the fourth to be spotted in 25 years. The brown-coloured cricket is over three inches long. Excited entomologists will not say exactly where the creature was found. They hope to find a colony in the town.

The fox was hit and killed by a vehicle on the A34 near Abingdon, Oxon. Up to 30 dogs from the Old Berkshire Hunt ran on to the road, bringing traffic to a standstill. Hunt joint master Marcus Armitage said he was keen to ensure no repeat. Thames Valley Police have criticised the hunt's actions and are investigating.
