		<description>Hello,
 
I really hope this is of interest if so I would greatly appreciate your letting me know asap.
 
I have recently taken an interest in the anomalies and such like from the Mars Rover Photos.
 
I decided to play a game of spot the difference with photos taken at the same location , my theory being simple, if something was present in one photo and not in another taken at the same location then it must have &quot;moved&quot;.
 
I have found something very interesting and shows that there is life on mars, not a big creature by any means but it does appear to have legs and look like an insect. I have called it a &quot;cricket&quot;.
 
In this photo http://marsrover.nasa.gov/gallery/all/2/n/1861/2N291579518EFFB0OAP1985L0M1.JPG:  in the lower right hand quarter is a small area of sand and perched on this is my &quot;cricket&quot;.
 
In this photo http://marsrover.nasa.gov/gallery/all/2/n/1861/2N291579518EFFB0OAP1985R0M1.JPG the cricket is missing.
 
At first I thought that the upright pipe might be obscuring it but if you relate its position to the rock above it (shaped a bit like the star-trek emblem) it is definitely missing therefore it has moved.
 
 
 
The address for the raw photos is http://marsrover.nasa.gov/gallery/all/spirit_n1861.html 
 
Can we name the cricket Robert after me please.
 
Kind Regards
