Speckled bush cricket nymph

Post by Beatsy »

I thought this was an aphid when I collected it as it was so small. But stacking revealed it was and early instar of some kind of grasshopper or cricket. Probably a speckled bush cricket - I think.

First image was done at 2.1x on APS-C and cropped. FoV is about 7mm or so.

Here's a closer look at 10x (FoV about 3.2mm.

And finally, one that just learned he won the lottery :D

Great images.

It looks like the "Martians" from "Five Million Years to Earth".
