(Ceuthophilus sp)
Cave cricket gets its name from the fact that it is often found in caves. Some people call them camel crickets because of their humpbacked appearance. But they are separate.
There are several species of cave crickets in North America. Most of them belong to the family Rhaphidophoridae. The ones here are Tropidischia Xanthosoma.
They are usually large insects. Depending on the species, they can grow to 4.5 cm in length. Their antennae are slender and longer than their bodies.
These crickets do not have wings, so they cannot fly, and they cannot make the chirping sounds that many other crickets make.
They seek out damp locations. Around homes, they can be found in drainpipes and water meter boxes. They often hide under mulch and under piles of leaves. They also hide under sheds if there is a space they can squeeze into.
