Camel Cricket/Cave Cricket?
I just wanted to shoot over a few pictures of a cave/camel cricket I found in my basement. Thank you for helping me ID this guy. Is it true that he eats spiders, ants, and roaches?

Hi Vince,
Camel Crickets are generally thought to be scavengers rather than predators, hence they would eat dead spiders, ants and roaches.
