Fall Field Cricket - Gryllus pennsylvanicus Sorry for the horrible photo, but this cricket had a long trail of goo and eggs coming out of its rear end. It was moving around too quickly for me to get a clear shot, but I think it was trying to lay eggs? But, it didn&#039;t look like it was only eggs coming out (see second photo).<br /> <br /> Habitat: Rural backyard<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/92289/fall_field_cricket_-_gryllus_pennsylvanicus.html" title="Fall Field Cricket - Gryllus pennsylvanicus"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3232/92289_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=wLbvPyaXQXxEbIO3Yrr6UO5GyhE%3D" width="200" height="166" alt="Fall Field Cricket - Gryllus pennsylvanicus Sorry for the horrible photo, but this cricket had a long trail of goo and eggs coming out of its rear end.

      And weird! I thought they usually insert their abdomen into the dirt to lay eggs. This one was scurrying around with everything hanging out. Poor thing was a bit unhinged. Posted 5 years ago
