Tried to 'fav' and realized its not hosted at Flickr---so FAVED here! Thanks Robert, I host my shots on Photobucket, I have done since I started digital photography and I forget to put them on Flickr sometimes. Thanks for the comment and fav! LOL You're right Travis! Cheers Bas LordV wrote in post #17639992 Lovely shot- it does have an interesting face Yes one of the annoying habits of these things is to slowly turn round and walk off in the opposite direction to the camera lens. Brian v. Yep, it kept doing that to me, Brian and I was surprised how quickly it spotted me! Lester Wareham wrote in post #17640349 Great shot George. I have had other species of cricket play hide and seek around a stalk with me. It's all good fun Lester and it gives us plenty of practice! LOL George
