Description
Had some rains last night and did some rock turning this morning to see what was around.
Found this young Jerusalem Cricket (Potato Bug). Was smaller than some I have seen at about 1" long (have seen some up to 3").
Seemed happy to pose for a few pics in the cold morning air.
Thanks for looking. Happy Thanksgiving to those that celebrate it.
