Louka's cricket

At Trishy and Johnny's place yesterday Louka found a handful of little cicada shells. She make a home for them in a box, but then wanted a live pet bug to live with them. So we hunted round the garden. The ladybird flew away, and the little stripy cockroach-like bug scuttled off. Then Trishy saw a dead leaf stuck to a living leaf on a tree and looking closer found a fat cricket. That suited Louka perfectly.

But it was too big for the cicadas' home, so we made a bigger box for it.
