How to find a field cricket

Crickets are hard to spot because they sense the slightest vibration.

The way to find them is to find their burrow...

Below is a series of pictures, use the arrow in the top right hand corner to show where the burrow is in each one, or click top left and try to spot the burrow before it's revealed.

Now try it hunched over while someone sprays you with a hose.  You're living the dream.
