  Yes, it's mole cricket. I wonder how they find them. They also love the giant scolopendras. Both rarely show themselves in the light, hiding underground or under rocks and rotten tree trunks. Posted 2 years ago

    I only ever saw one in the wild in Colombia. Supposedly they are common here, people maintaining vegetable gardens often report coming across them. Probably because they are feeding on roots. Posted 2 years ago

The Lesser Kestrel

The lesser kestrel is a small falcon. This species breeds from the Mediterranean across southern central Asia to China and Mongolia. It is a summer migrant, wintering in Africa and Pakistan and sometimes even to India and Iraq. It is rare north of its breeding range, and declining in its European range.
