Hi! Could you please help to identify this freaky looking bug that got stuck in my fish bowl outside? It has 4 main legs and 2 short upper legs, no wings. This one is only 4cm long but we have seen one that is about 7cm long.
Thanks!

Mole Cricket
Hi Cheryl,
We are certainly curious about how this Mole Cricket got stuck in your fish bowl with what appears to be an artificial koi. Mole Crickets are common insects that can be found in many places around the world. It is one of our most frequent identification requests from military troops stationed in Afghanistan and other places in the Middle East. Mole Crickets live underground, but many species are capable of flying and they are sometimes attracted to lights.
