Roesel's Cricket was previously found only on the south east coasts but has now spread to many areas. It is distinguished by the yellow band around the notum and the short wings that only reach half way down the abdomen. This one was happy on top of a piece of wood for a time and then started to lay eggs under the bark. Later it attempted some gymnastics crossing the log.These were taken with a 100 macro lens plus extender tube and 1.4 converter with a ringflash. They need a bit of cleaning up as, despite being selfcleaning, ny sensor has a considerable amount of dust.
