New swimming cave cricket species filmed


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

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.

His enthusiasm when he found it I thought was quite funny. He sounded well chuffed :D
