My daughter has a huge avacado tree in their backyard in LA; problem is, the fruit is too high to pick and the squirrels feast when they hit the ground.

EXCELLENT PHOTOS, JOHN. I DO NOT LIKE SPIDERS AT ALL. SO THE BOTTOM ONE IS SCARY TO ME.

Say hello to him, John! Love crickets when I go southwords where they are numerous in Euorpe., I associate them with summer, heat and vacation, but sometimes at night they can be bothering! Great macros!

So glad he is now in the avocado tree, I had crickets in my house one time and it was awful, get chills when I see them, wonderful photos!

Artist Reply: Yes he was so happy to find a piece of wood to crawl under in soft dirt. They are a little scary at first but they are not mean critters.
