Water Cricket at Night

Water Cricket at Night by blogrodent.
Walked around tonight looking for a bug to shoot. This is the only one I could find, then my camera died (old batteries).

I used a handheld LED light to illuminate this surprised little cricket.

Thanks, Elaine! I held a paper towel over the head of the flashlight so the reflections and shadows weren't as harsh. I keep it handy, just in case!

Thanks, Uglyductling, for the nomination. I missed out, though, due to busy-ness. :: sigh ::
