Newly "hatched" Crickets..

[Redfoot NERD]

.. are REALLY tiny! When you live in the woods and it has been "warm and humid" [ unless your home is totally "water-proof" sealed ] .. tiny little critters show up in the early summer. So small they look like the tiny specks in the counter-top............. until they jump!!!

So thought I would see how close I could get with this old "point&shoot" SONY camera.

FIRST.. see how small - my little finger -



Compared to standard steak knife -



A little closer - look at this tiny thing -



It's a cricket -



6 legs and really long antennae -



Look me in the eyes -

Man those antenna are long. Must be a freak or something.
