Patience, grasshopper

we have sandgropers in Western Australia. They are mole crickets (grasshoppers that live underground)

Have a look...pay special attention to the very beginning of the video, and at the :20 sec mark...the first fly was a miss, the second fly was quite delicious...or does it escape?

Mrs. Slap and me have different thoughts

Slow the video on YouTube to 1/4 speed

I'd rather wait and see.

With this new video evidence, I'm sure the mystery will be solved.

@Colin_T above mentioned having someone at a University have a look...and, I just happen to work at one

If we don't solve the mystery this weekend, I'll contact the Biology department on Monday

Mother Nature never ceases to amaze

catch a fly, put it on a hook and tie some string to it. lower it near the entrance and catch it.

I used to do something similar, as a kid, to pull crayfish out of their holes in the ditches around my neighborhood

But I'd use a piece of pepperoni on a bent wire coat-hanger

Goodnight all, see you here tomorrow

they do it in South America to catch Tarantulas but they use a leaf or grasshopper or something bigger.

GAH IT REALLY IS TREMORS!

Wow! Okay, that was definitely not the arachnid/beetle type thing I was expecting - great job capturing it on video! Freaky looking, and have no idea what it is. That's so cool! I'm so excited to find out, and you're bound to find a contact through your uni who can let you know what it is. The mystery!

Whatever it is, wow, the speed - definitely lying in wait to ambush! That long body... I'm stumped, but fascinated!

Ah sorry, I haven't seen that film either! But Tremors with Kevin Bacon was one of my favourite films as a kid, and it still holds up today! Just a really fun movie
