It definitely has an unusual appearance for a cricket! Compare to Anabropsis sp. Posted 3 years ago

        Interesting, it looks like Anabropsis mexicana is a species complex, which makes it a bit safer for me to tentatively ID it as such. They are in a family called "Wētā and King Crickets", of which this is our first. When you explore that family, you'll run into some truly insane ones. Posted 3 years ago

        Yes! That's sort of how I found the genus. I thought it looked weta-ish. Posted 3 years ago
