Camel Cricket - Family Rhaphidophoridae

Large, hump-backed reddish brown cricket with very long antennae and long, spiky legs. These crickets are wingless and prefer dark, moist places.

I spotted this cricket as it was resting on the side of a tree in a deciduous forest next to a stream. As you can see in the video, it appeared to be trying to climb up the tree, but it kept slipping back down. Not sure what was wrong with it.

What a weirdo, and that's a great thing :)
Thanks for the video, really adds a lot of value.

I'm thinking Arp will love this. Not sure if I mentioned him before, but he's crazy about lesser known insects:

  Yep, I’m following him. He has some really cool shots. I love the weird and less “lovable” insects! Posted 7 years ago
