Jerusalem Cricket
by: Moni

This is a Jerusalem Cricket.
They feed on other insects, roots, and decaying vegetation. Sometimes found eating potatoes.
They are found in burrows and under rocks and logs. Sometimes they wander to the surface at night. To produce their sound they strike the ground with their abdomen to produce a drumming pattern.
Some say the bite hurts.
