That's not Cricket!

A number of friends commented they had never seen a purple cricket before. I tell them it has to do with the fresh rose bush leaf it is eating, they think I coloured it lol, my photoshop skills do not extend to colouring in insects sadly. I wish I could. Would appreciate any cc...thanks.

That's a "rosy" shot!! Sorry for the pun... I do like the shot; having two in there makes it stand out and gives reference point.

Thanks TwoRails, like the pun..

Processed a couple more at different angles.

Beautiful! The colors are great.

Nice shots. Do they have any chameleon properties to them I wonder?

Thank you . TwoRails I rekon it has to do with it eating the leaf maybe? Would love to know.

It might be a natural selection thing as well. Coloration for camouflage purposes? Either way very cool shots!
