Male and female southern oak bush crickets

Lord Vetinari

Male and female southern oak bush crickets. I was photographing the male on my bay tree when I heard a plinging sound coming from my camera setup. Found a female sitting on my flash diffuser. I carefully persuaded the female back onto a bay leaf.

Brian,

A lovely set.

An intriguing bulge between the antennae.

Thanks Harold and SB for the comments

Harold - think the bulge is a tiny water drop.
