I only read two blogs, this one, and the NASA picture of the day. It's nice to start the day with pictures of the structure of the milky way, and end with sword shaped raspy cricket ovipostors. Thank you for posting this work, it's not only fascinating, it's important.
I was particularly pleased to find your Raspy Cricket post. I have posted on moulting males, but not yet the beaut female that I found in my kitchen. I just couldn't believe the length of the ovipositor.
You have some beaut nature observations in your area.
Cheers
