Description

Thanks for viewing ! Comments are welcome... This is the first photo made with my new Coolpix 8700. I still need a lot of exercise though... I've been following this little creature for weeks now. It's roaming my strawberry-plants :o) Every once in a while i see it bathing in the sun on a strawberry leaf. Although it has gotten a little bit bigger since i first spotted it, it's still very small (about 3-4 mm bodylenght) so i dont know wether it's a baby cricket or not. Anyhow, i can't find it anywhere on the internet or in my (very limited) insect books. So i was wondering if any of you might know what it is. Im fairly certain that is a cricket though... but what kind i don't know... Many thanks, Enmos

I was expecting something super duper for today and here you are with something above my expectation. Most awesome, I love the way it moves it aerial. As for the name of the insect...... I have no clue at all. One best way to find it out would be to find out sites that have information on strawberry and strawberry plants........ there sure must be a reference about it. But like I say always,,,,,,,,,, It's the beauty of the capture and lights etc that really matter to me as a photographer rather than the species..... I know one thing, mother nature can not stop amazing me and this is an outstanding example of that. Thanks my friend for sharing. V
