Field Cricket

The field cricket is quite a large insect. They are known for the chirping sound that only males produce with their wings. This one doesn’t have wings yet, so it is probably a juvenile female, as its ovipositor is still very small.. that is the usually long tail used for laying eggs. The “antennas” on its rear are called cerci, which are used to detect vibrations. Its hearing organ is located on the front leg, just below the knee. Shot from 111 perspectives, 16 focus stacked images each. Nikon D810, cropped sensor, f/18, ISO 320, Tamron 90mm macro lens and 20mm extension, with Speedlights. www.patreon.com/DanyBittel
