[QUOTE="M77Fan, post: 3101729, member: 115996"] Jerusalem cricket, left, ([I]Ammopelmatus fuscus[/I])[I], [/I]not an actual cricket, nor from Jerusalem, it is in a different insect family[I], [/I]and Mormon cricket, left, ([I]Anabrus simplex[/I]), which is a katydid relative. The Mormon crickets swarmed in a lot of places last year. With millions moving in waves they are really creepy and very destructive of vegetation. Any that get squashed on roads are cannibalized quickly. On the initial bug, in Lake Champlain we just called them giant water bugs. The first one I found as a kid was kind of scary. Had to find it in a Golden Nature Book, I think. Seldom saw those on our rocky shore, but in weedy vegetation you could find them. [/QUOTE]
