Crickets, Camel Crickets and Mole CricketsMole cricket??? Strange critter in Iraq
Just got this note and picture from my son in Iraq. I think it’s a mole cricket. Am I right? Thanks!

[W]hat on earth is the critter in the attachment? It’s about 2 inches long, and it was crawling around the office recently. It has 6 legs and a jointed exoskeleton. It did not jump, and it made a "crack" that was clearly audible from more than 20 feet away when I stepped – not stomped on it.
Hi Barbara,
You are correct. This is a Mole Cricket and we have gotten numerous submissions from Iraq.
