Cricket?

Posted in Nature

Any one know what this is?

I was sweeping out my garage of all the crickets and this was with them. I don't know if crickets have queens? The wings are so tiny. I also saw a big grub. Like the size of a cricket. Do crickets start out as big grubs? I can't seem to find any info on the internet.

I think it's a mix breed with a grasshopper. But hey, who knows?

Hi, ok first, I found you a link with pics of baby crickets and how they are raised. Interesting, I would have assumed they had a larval stage too.

Also, thanks for the compliments on my photos. As for editing, it depends. If they are just for my blog or flickr, I edit on Picnik (it's a editing program within flickr I think). I can't tell you how much I love flickr lol. If I'm editing a photo to print out, I use Photoshop Elements.
