Female Cave Cricket?
Hello,
I found this giant creature in my damp, dark cellar the other day. Unfortunately I didn’t realize what it was and happened to unload spectracide onto it. I thought it was a mutant. Is it a female cave cricket?
Thanks,
Mark

Correct Mark,
The Cave Cricket is also known as a Camel Cricket and the female has the long ovipositor protruding from the end of her abdomen.
