It's just not cricket ...

... It's two crickets. What a stupid saying. Anyway, last night I saw two very very small crickets. I think that they are both the same species but at different stages. I think the first one is an adult and the second, a juvenile. These are very small indeed and quite common. Though small, their antennae seem to go on forever.

Order: Orthoptera
Family: Gryllidae
Vernacular name: Silent leaf-runner
Scientific name: Metioche vittaticollis (possibly)
