What Is A Camel Cricket?

Camel crickets are a very common New York pest. They are also known by other names, such as cave crickets, cave wetas, and spider crickets. They are a large cricket species, ranging from 3/4 of an inch to 1 ½ inches in length. They are ugly, humpbacked insects with huge rear legs. They are a wingless cricket and are characterized by extremely long antennae, usually as long as the rest of the body. Camel crickets can be a range of different colors, from a very light tan to dark brown. Since they do not have wings, they cannot chirp; if you hear cricket noises, you have a different cricket species.

Things You Should Know:

Camel crickets are also known as cave crickets, spider crickets, and cave wetas.

Camel crickets prefer cool, damp, cave-like environments.

Camel crickets do not bite people but they will chew through clothing and other items.

Why Are They In My House?

They are most likely in search of shelter and moisture. As the common name "cave cricket" implies, these pests are often found in caves in the wild. Sometimes a cool, dark, and damp basement provides a cave-like environment that is very attractive to camel crickets.

Are Camel Crickets Dangerous?
