I mistook this critter for a cricket, at first. After following one for a few minutes, trying to get the macro lens focused on it before it hopped away, I realized there were a few of them. No, dozens. No, hundreds. For a moment I had the dizzy sensation of seeing the ground itself in motion with tiny scurrying frogs everywhere, each one as small as my thumbnail.
