Camel cricket under black light - Ammobaenetes - female

Camel cricket under black light - Ammobaenetes - Female
Clark County, Nevada, USA
May 14, 2008
This image is of the same individual as in the other picture, but under black light. As you can see, they fluoresce a faint blue. Whenever I go blacklighting in an area where these guys are present I always think dozens of small scorpions are jumping at me (which is a little unnerving at first) since they fluoresce under the light.
