Water Cricket at Night

Taken in a place with no name (See more photos or videos here)

Walked around tonight looking for a bug to shoot. This is the only one I could find, then my camera died (old batteries).

I used a handheld LED light to illuminate this surprised little cricket.

Thanks, Elaine! I held a paper towel over the head of the flashlight so the reflections and shadows weren't as harsh. I keep it handy, just in case!
