Description
Found this guy in my trash can on the top of the leaves I had raked up a couple days earlier. Looks like it spent some time getting to the surface.
So I snapped some shots and let him/her go in the yard. They are quite common around here. Under rocks alot.
Info from Bug-Guide.com:
Name: Jerusalem Cricket- Other common names; Sand Crickets, Wetas, Potato Bugs, Children of the Earth (Nina de la tierra)(Mexico), Stone Cricket, Chaco
Food: Organic matter found in the soil.
Remarks: Although it is not aggressive and has no venom, this cricket will bite if disturbed or molested. They have powerful jaws usually used when burrowing through the earth and feeding on plant roots. Keep a respectful distance.
