Cricket / Stonefly

I started off trying to tie a cricket but somehow it looks more like a stone fly.  I'm building up quite a collection of these little critters so I hope they catch fish.  I wish I could find this .5mm foam a little cheaper.  Anyone have an idea where to get razor foam cheaper than $3 for a little piece?  Where would you use that stuff other than for tyin flies?  I can find 2mm foam at Walmart Crafts area but the .5mm is perfect for what I'm using it for.

    I have looked in the craft stores myself for the razor foam and come up empty.  I hope somebody has an answer.   Nice looking bug!

    Get a piece of black foam, tie in, move back from eye a little, lay the foam ontop, wrap in one spot only, then lash a biot to each side.... a cricket.
