During one of our exits last month we found this little cricket completing his metamorphosis. We had time for some shots.

Thank for looking.

Nice behavior/life cycle image. It has a good clean background that forces the eye towards the cricket.

I don't think I have even seen this before and so thanks for sharing this. The capture is superb and the bg is nice and clean. Good job for including the very long antenna. :toast:

Really nice - something very graceful about the lines here.
Great subject, good BG.
