Field Notes

Description:

On a closer look at this cricket, it appears he has a Walrus face on his back. So amazing!

Habitat:

Crickets are omnivorous scavengers who feed on organic materials, as well as decaying plant material, fungi, and some seedling plants. Crickets eat their own dead when there are no other sources of food available, and exhibit predatorial behavior upon weakened, crippled crickets.

Notes:

Taken at Singapore Quarry

Do you have more information about this one?
