Most likely this is a forest cricket, when I first saw it from a distance this insect was very similar to a grasshopper because it could jump, but I slowly started to approach this insect and from a close distance I immediately realized that this was a forest cricket, this cricket has a shiny black color and two legs that it often uses to jump.

To photograph this cricket I had to repeat it twice because in the first attempt this cricket had jumped to another leaf, luckily in my second attempt I managed to photograph it. This insect has a relatively small size and is smaller than the crickets at home, but this cricket has its own unique characteristics.

When I knew that I would succeed in photographing this cricket I immediately photographed it in a very large number of pictures, and below are some pictures of the crickets that I have managed to photograph.
