Resting at the palm of my hand
The field cricket did not even attempted to jump
Up close and personal
I was on assignment for a facility inspection of a large greenhouse facility in Al Ain City, Emirate of Abu Dhabi when I stumbled upon a large field cricket that got itself inside the air circulation vent area. Its large size, shiny black head and thoraric armor immediately got my attention. It was still alive, its antennae moving vigorously, slowly walking on the floor, I was able to carefully placed it in the palm of my hand as it was no longer able to make its escape jump. Its truly a treat to have a live insect in the palm of your hand, up close and personal (without the threat of being, pierced, stung or bitten of course)!
Awesome creatures! AWESOME CREATOR!
