thunderhorse Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Commonly called a cri-cri. Quite harmless, being a cricket.Now here's a cri-cri with a difference - the smallest twin-engined aircraft. Saw it at Couhé.http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7voiv_le-mc15-cricri_sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sid Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Too true! We find them in the channels on the door sills, and if you don't spot them they're indoors quick as a flash! Sid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
