I'll Take a Cricket on the Rocks, by Jiminy!
Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 1 September 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
This little fella crossed my path while I was shopping for some garden furniture in Pennsylvania last weekend. He was also a rather plump little fella! Actually he was probably the largest cricket I've ever seen at about inch long.
I asked him "Excuse me dear sir, but would you please be so kind as to indulge me and allow the honor of taking a photo or two of you?"
To which he enthusiastically replied "Why of course, by Jiminy! I would be most pleased to oblige the lovely lady."
Ooh such flattery I though, and most happily I snapped away a couple of frames being sure to catch his very best side.
I could tell he was in a bit of a hurry; probably on his way to attend to some very important matters. So I thanked him kindly and bid him adieu.
With a quick salute, and a wink of his eye he said "Thank you Ma'am!" and he was on his merry way.
