User's notes
My first ever Mole Cricket. I thought it was a wasp on the water, but it was motoring hard. When it got 'to shore' it pulled a root ball over the top of itself and hid completely. I didn't know they could swim. There was a couple of Black Ducks patrolling the edge so maybe it took fright from them.
