Cave Crickets
Cave crickets have very large hind legs with "drumstick-shaped" femora
and long, slender antennae. They are brownish in color and rather
humpbacked in appearance, always wingless, and up to two inches
long in body and 4 inches for the legs. As the name implies, cave crickets are commonly found in caves. However,
most species live in other cool, damp situations such as in wells,
rotten logs, stumps and hollow trees, and under damp leaves, stones,
boards, and logs. Cave Crickets can prove to be a nuisance in buildings and homes, especially basements.
