"Since when is our upstairs computer room a greenhouse?? That's where we found this one. I was maneuvering to get some pics, but then she started to make a run for it. She's missing a hind leg, but still managed some pretty alarming jumps. At that point my husband said ""Oh no you don't!"" He didn't want to play around with anything that might get away, hide, and start chirping all night (can't say I blame him). So I grabbed the nearest empty container, which happened to be an opaque white plastic pill bottle, and he managed to trap it on the first swipe. (At first I was afraid we had broken the leg off in the process, but I'm sure I would have found it there on the carpet if we had; it must have been missing already.) I got this shot by the simple expedient of sticking the lens over the top of the bottle and using the flash, shining through the side of the bottle. Not perfect, but came out surprisingly well. Shot including the antennae below -- I usually can't bear to crop antennae out, but these were just so long you wouldn't have been able to see any of that wonderful spiky detail in the bug! Best viewed large."
