EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Frank Greenaway showcases the fascinating Cave Cricket, also known as the Camel Cricket. Its distinctive humped back and sharp spikes on its back legs make it easily recognizable. With its long legs and hooked feet, this small creature clings onto rocks with ease, showcasing its impressive agility. The Cave Cricket is a scavenger that roams in search of food. Its antennae and feeler-like cerci help it navigate through dark caves or rocky terrains where it resides. Despite having small compound eyes, this arthropod relies on other senses to survive in its environment. Greenaway's studio shot beautifully captures the intricate details of this unique insect's carapace and antennae. The image allows us to appreciate the complexity of nature's designs within even the smallest creatures. It is worth noting that this particular species belongs to the Raphidophoridae family and is commonly found in African caves under the name Pholeogryllus geertsi. However, regardless of their origin or scientific classification, these cave crickets are truly remarkable animals that remind us of nature's diversity and adaptability. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) serves as a testament to both Greenaway's skillful photography and our endless fascination with Earth's countless inhabitants – big or small.
