Cricket?

  • April 29, 2007
Matt and I are trying to determine exactly what this little critter is. He looks most like a cricket, but most of the photos we could find of crickets show them to be very dark-colored. Any ideas? There are more photos on hPhoto.

He's sitting under a glass because we found him in the living room. He was delivered outside after this photo shoot.

According to Wikipedia, there are over 900 species of crickets. So it could be a cricket, or maybe some sort of katydid, or maybe a grasshopper. Who knows?

According to my roommate, there were quite a number of these little guys in our apartment when we moved in. He had killed them all and fed their bodies to the cats by the time I arrived, if I remember correctly. Hope you don't have more on the way....

Looks like maybe a Camel Cricket?
