Potato Bugs, Wetas and Parktown PrawnsStrange bug in Northern Utah (cricket?)
I came across a very strange bug in the Bear Lake Valley in northern Utah at our cabin (photo attached). While I have seen my share of crickets, most recently by the tens of thousands crossing Nevada from our California home, I have never seen a bug like this. Is it a cricket?

The Jerusalem Cricket is not a true cricket. It is commonly called a Potato Bug.
