Description

Glad you reacted so kindly to my experimental b/w upload. Work was very hectic today so I couldn't upload another version.

Here is something fresh ! Went out in the meadow with Fafnir tonight , he got seriously bored while I watched this fresh green cricket emerge!
Unfortunately he wasn't ready before sunset but I watched and clicked as long as I could.
V2 is a bit earlier, as I first spotted him
v3 another view, fanir had brushed against the grass and I was a bit worried Wink

It's wonderful to see the emergence of an insect like this, Annette, and you've captured it beautifully.

Still very soft and delicate and no doubt a tasty meal if it's not careful: well captured in this trio of shots, very nicely lit and with good detail recorded. Annette.
Love the light shining on the wings.
