Everglades Cricket

Just going through some holiday snaps from last year. This photo of a cricket was taken by my father. While my father was taking a photo of the cricket, I was taking a photo of my father taking a photo of the cricket :P:lol:

The full size crop from the image of the cricket (2.3Mb) can be found by clicking here (http://andrew.bundschuh.googlepages.com/cricket.jpg)

That's one big beautiful grasshopper!

The leg spikes look formidable.

Doh, shows how much I know about my insects!

A google search shows that crickets are nocturnal, while grasshoppers aren't, so the easiest way to tell if it is a cricket or a grasshopper is to look at your watch! Since it is a daytime shot it is definately a grasshopper!
