Crickets, Camel Crickets and Mole CricketsScary Bug – looks like a shrimp/armadillo
I keep finding these things in my house. Is that tail a stinger? Any clue as to what it is?

Hi Patrick,
This is a Camel Cricket or Cave Cricket. They like damp dark places. The so-called stinger is an ovipositor which distinguises the female. She uses it to lay eggs.
