His helmet was crested with an emerald wart-biter with wings aggressively spread.

The wart-biter lays its eggs in the soil; these eggs normally hatch after two winters.

Early spider-orchid and the wart-biter (a bush cricket) are two nationally rare species that are found here.

The wart-biter (Decticus verrucivorus) is a bush-cricket in the family Tettigoniidae.

The wart-biter has a song consisting of a rapidly repeated series of short bursts of clicks, sometimes lasting for several minutes.

Stride boldly, Lord Ador the Wart-Biter!

The wart-biter is so called because when first described by the Swedish naturalist Linnaeus, it was used by his native peasants to bite off their warts.

In the same period the London Zoo bred the more demanding wart-biter (Decticus verrucivorus), also resulting in the establishment of persistent colonies in the wild.

In Britain, the wart-biter is confined to five sites, two in East Sussex, and one each in Wiltshire, Dorset and Kent.

A joint venture between English Nature and London Zoo's Invertebrate Conservation team has resulted in Britain's most endangered bush cricket, the wart-biter (Decticus verrucivorus) being successfully reared in captivity for the first time.
