Name : Field Cricket - Scientific name : Gryllus campestris - Family : Gryllidae.
---
The field cricket is an impressive insect with a black body and wings that resemble intricate wrought iron work.
This insect digs, at the adulthood, a burrow in the hot and sunny places. Camped on its threshold, it makes resound its familiar song which stops with slightest warning.
A modified area of veins on the male's wings enables it to produce the 'song' or stridulation that he uses to attract a female.

jolie macro TAZ !
je ne savais meme pas que c'etait comme ca un grillon !
le contraste entre le sujet et le fond est cool car ton grillon ressort bien mieu.
Ca fais quelle taille en vrais ?
merci a toi.

Very good macro, a little bit noisy, I think it is because a big crop.
Very good details and compo.

Un grillon dans toute sa grandeur, je voyais les grillons plutôt vert comme les sauterelles.
Belle capture.
Nico.

Nice capture Christian, the subject is well capture for such a dark subject on a very light BG , for me its a fraction too tighly cropped but thats only my opinion.

Taz, You did very well with a very dark subject on a very light BG. Great details - I like the analogy to wrought iron describing their exterior..Great job! Footnote: freudian slip - I wrote your name "Tax" rather that "Taz" in error. Damn that IRS!!

Nice macro, I would push a bit more the contrast.
Well done.
TFS.
