The rural cricket, 2000 sorts of crickets in the world

Gryllus campestris

Order: orthoptère 15 000 cobare sorts
Famille:gryllidae

We hear more that we perceive the cricket. Common in them near and at the edge of roads hismonotonous song resounds throughout the spring. Brilliant black insect measuring from 2 to 2,5 cms, in the collected body, in the wide and rounded off head. These antennae are long and fine, serving for communicating with his congeners and for acquainting with the outside world.
The big compound eyes are him of a big utility because the cricket of fields is essentially diurnal. At night, he remains hidden in his den which he dug himself{*itself*}. His paws rear are powerful and adapted for the jump; it is a means of very practical locomotion because the cricket does not steal. Indeed wings slept in flats on the back are of use only to the song, the posterior wings are as vestiges or go away. Claws solident end paws. The song, that the male practical of May at the end of June, is realized by rubbing right wing on left wing. He varies according to his function

I hate this kind of animals, but I have to admit: Nice shot! ;)
Well done Philippe.

I like the capture, good composition, good light - colour and contrast.
