what is this?

We have received countless images of Mole Crickets from Iraq. Though they are found in the U.S. as well, the vast majority of our images come from the troops in the Middle East.

It’s called Baghad in local language of Gujarat. It’s very dangerous. If it bites to you, it is bad than honey bee or wasp sting.
