Jacob's Coat Cricket

Seen three times in sixteen years. Photographed twice.

Jacob's Coat Cricket: Sony Alpha a68 ~ Tamron 90mm 272E Macro Lens ~ ISO 100 ~ Shutter Speed 1/1.6s ~ F/16 ~ Natural Light ~ Exposure Compensation 0.0

In sixteen years of tending the garden/temple this is the third time I have seen this grasshopper. Once without my camera. Once with the Sony Alpha a58 and now with the Sony Alpha a68 with a great background and almost perfect light.

The wee beast was exceptionally cooperative and I got over fifty shots. More to come. Shot in our garden/temple somewhere in the Philippines.
