Camel Cricket

Damp, dark environments such as caves, hollow logs, basements, crawl spaces, and under rocks/leaves.

Omnivorous scavengers, feeding on organic matter, fungi, plants, dead insects, and sometimes fabrics or stored foods.

Nocturnal; they are known for their strong jumping ability. Unlike true crickets, they do not chirp. They are often associated with human dwellings due to their preference for cool, moist environments.

Generally harmless to humans, though large populations can be considered a nuisance pest in homes, occasionally damaging fabrics or plants. They can be a food source for other animals.
