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.<br />
