Its a type of cricket. Looks like a spotted camel cricket. I was just worried about the "stinger" looking hind quarters.

Yea I don't know why but I'm leery of feeding stuff I find. Wish I wasn't. When My daughter had the hybrid she fed it any bug she found and he's fine.
Well Max is a full 6 inches now, so he's gonna need a bigger home by summers end. He likes his ping pong ball and will even jump out of the water when he really gets after it. I need to invent a type of lid that is a dome but still provides light. He seems to really love jumping. Got a bit of an indent on his head last week from it, but its healed up now, didn't break the skin. My boys have taken to excitedly pulling weeds because they are hunting for worms to give him. Haven't had to buy any in weeks, haha. They really are smart fish. He knows us and hides from strangers. He and the cat race up and down the tank. He seems to think her tail is something to eat, pretty funny stuff. Occasionally he gets up enough courage to brush our fingers a few times, then swims just out of reach looking suspiciously at me. Now I just want another one!
Sigh, all life has been crazy. He is doing great. About 7 inches now which seems small to me. He was 2 went I got him last November. Eats like a pig though. Still searching for a bigger tank. Coming up with nada so far. We just can't afford to pay retail for new equipment. So, I've been keeping up the twice weekly big water changes. I will try to get new pics posted when I'm not at work. Thanks for checking on us Mike!
