Crickets have been an effective July-August bug for the big trout, and I am trying to get a wider variety of patterns. While doing the search, I ran across this huge database of collected bug specimens. Many are from Australia, but most have similar looking relatives in the U.S. http://agspsrv34.agric.wa.gov.au/ento/icdb/imagelist.IDC Really like their collection of cicadas. Lots of good stuff here if you are looking for a bug's basic shape and identifying features. Wes Wada Bend, Oregon
