oh wow, crickets!! poor them! Do you know what they sell these crickets for? we used to catch them in vietnam too, and put them in paper boxes. the neighbor kids would get them into same box to fight after spinning the whiskers somehow... and we have a quite different type of crickets than the ones i see here in the US, oh i found a picture here. of course we also have a very nice children book about the adventures of the cricket, from which i grab a photo to show resemblance with VK in Der R :-).
Hi! An! Yes... almost as bad as corridas... for fighting. This world is far from perfect.. your picture is fine! ours are small black ones by the fireplace (wood fire) or nice and green in the fields in summer and we like their music that's why I tried this joke. Poor them! I agree. Funny you VK again!!!
what is in those cute bamboo(??) boxes?
ReplyDeleteCrickets dear An, and not in the best conditions for them, but this is China and ancestral traditions.
