Crickets once again. About the photos?

Crickets are one of the insects with strigils (yea, sorry about stridulator - shouldn't it be stridulation organ?). I made photos of their wings - with help of microscope and I can see there sth what looks like a comb. I only want to know if it is it. Photos are not good but the main string you can see on them looks a little bit like a comb.

Me again. I wish i would have seen what species you were taking photos of before i answered your last question. Seeing as you are looking at Aceta domestica, the strigils (stridulating organ) would be on the inside surface of the forewings. Because these crickets do not use the typical leg-to-wing method to produce their sound, you might want to tear off the forewings, and flip them upside down, then look at the outer-inside edge of the forewings.

Thanks again for the points before, it's nice to see someone who actually asks intelligent questions, that makes it fun for intelligent people to answer.....keep up the good work!

Like I mentioned earlier, the strigils you will be looking for should be comb shaped or washboard shaped in appearance, just look around carefully, you'll find them!
