I apologise for the picture quality of this photo. It is zoomed in as opposed to getting close to the subject like I normally try to do. The reason for this is I have a ridiculous fear of these little beasts and I just wasnt willing to get close enough to the little monster incase it jumped! Dont ask me where this fear of crickets, grasshoppers and locusts came from, Ive had it since late primary school. I dont like the look of them and I freak out when they jump. Even typing this up is making my skin crawl. I had to get my nanna to save me from a locust once (she was the only one about and the flyspray just wasnt killing it quick enough, and lord knows I didnt want to let the thing out of my sight!). Suffice to say that my workmates find it hilarious. Ive had to get them to save me from them on several occasions and right now its the season for the monsters, so the bunker we work out of is infested with them again. So a shriek can occasionally be heard in the parks when I close the roller door to the bunker and a dozen of the beasts fall on top of me. Yeeck!
