Camel Cricket (also known as Cave Cricket or Spider Cricket)

Dark, damp, and cool environments such as basements, crawl spaces, caves, and under mulch or logs.

Omnivorous scavengers that eat fungi, plant matter, insects, and household items like fabrics, paper, and cardboard.

Primarily nocturnal and known for their extreme jumping ability used as a defense mechanism to startle predators. They lack wings and do not chirp.

Harmless to humans as they do not bite or carry diseases but can be a nuisance pest; they benefit the ecosystem by breaking down organic matter.
