My plan is to make short posts every day with photos, recordings, videos and links — a tree cricket tidbit a day. Topics will include: history, species, anatomy, life cycle, eggs, nymphs, instar stages, adults, songs, habitat, locations, behaviors….essentially things found on this website but most in a bit more detail. Over the past 16 years I have accumulated thousands of photos, recordings and videos – and this blog seems like the best way to share them. I am also hoping to follow the development of a tree cricket or two from egg to ovipositing the next generation.
Just click on ‘ One Year of Tree Cricket Blogging ‘ on the menu.
Thank you for reading, Nancy.
