Southern Oak Bush Cricket

[Daysleeper40]

This little guy / girl made the mistake of hopping into my bathroom - so I retrieved him / her before the cat got involved and things got nasty. Did a little photo shoot in the garden before he / she pinged off into an unknown location. Google tells me it is a Southern Oak Bush Cricket... the only other thing I can tell you is he/she was chewing on me as I carried him/her to the garden. Apparently they are carnivorous... C&C welcome. Still using the Pringle Diffuser which is in desperate need of a new 'head' but is doing the job for now.

I agree nice set and the ovipositor is a dead give away that it is female.

Fantastic set some slightly missed focus (eye being on the barrier between out and in) But the black background really suits the green on the hopper.

Thanks all - appreciate the comments / feedback. I now know what an ovipositor is too

We all learn loads here - not just about photography.

Are these the images taken with your Pringle kit Fi? Very nice.
By the way what's the better tube Sour Cream or Salt & Vinegar!?

Sour Cream? Better than Salt & Vinegar?? Don't be ludicrous!

Yes - they are though. I think it works pretty well
