Camel Cricket

This is a camel/cave cricket. It didn't like me following him/her and kept turning to give me a frightening stare...then, after it finally had enough, sprung at me! I am still recovering...probably the most alien like insect I've ever seen...and it's look put the FEAR in me! I hear it does not bite but I would not trust it! Maybe it can cut someone with the barbs on its legs... I'm thinking it's a demon or alien but perhaps it's just a peaceful little insect...Maybe it jumped at me because it wanted to be friends...I would be curious to know if anyone knows more about these creatures...anyone have one as a pet?...Perhaps my judgement is too harsh...if so I apologize...:P

Thanks for sharing! I bet as you jumped back 3 feet it was laughing :D As I went to reply to your comment the video started and I had to stop it immediatly! I can't even watch my own vid:D

Very creepy indeed:D I'm glad I moved back to the east coast....it appears I'm safe from them over here..

I had these in my house for a while ! They are so scary ! Then when we got the exterminator he said they may come out of the walls and die on the floor...I woke up to one on my arm...I still have trouble sleeping.

put a little dog food on a strip of duct tape and lay it near where they r most found and go back to it the next day. There should be a bunch of them stuck to the duct tape for you to squish to death teehee

These sons of bitches completely SURROUND my house in the summer. Literally to the point where we can't even walk outside a night. Recently, I've seen them in the dark corners of closets after the first snow came. I haven't seen one in a few weeks but I'm still having trouble being completely comfortable in my house O.o

i Have these in my house. The worse thing about them is they stick onto walls! I hate them!! they jump so far and they continue to jump. You never know which way they're going to go. I live in Maryland. The extermonator said they come in for warmth during mating season. YUCK!
