Still Waters Posted August 5, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2012 A swimming cricket was one of three "new species" discovered by a TV crew filming in South America. The "unbelievable" insect find was captured on camera along with a no-eyed harvestman and a cave catfish. The trio were found in a remote Venezuelan tepui, a type of table-top mountain in the region. "We've only named about a million species of insects and there are almost certainly five to eight million undescribed," said Dr George McGavin. The filming was part of a new BBC/Discovery Channel/Terra Mater TV co-production called The Dark: Nature's Nighttime World. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/19102700 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
