Camelback cricket. This is a strange-looking insect that has a cricket-like body but long, spider-like legs. Also called camel crickets, they like to live in dark, damp environments. They are harmless and closely related to cave crickets, cave wetas and sand treaders. Camelback crickets are brown, about an inch or two in length and have very long antennae and long, spider-like legs.
This camelback cricket was hiding under the BBQ grill on our sundeck.
