Cave cricket - Ceuthophilus conicaudus - male

Cave cricket - Ceuthophilus conicaudus - Male
El Paso, El Paso County, Texas, USA
November 7, 2015
Size: 15 mm
Ceuthophilus? These crickets were on the ceiling of an abandoned copper mine at the Franklin Mountains Park, Tom Mays Unit, Cottonwood Spring trail. I heard that in the middle of summer "it rains crickets" as the crickets drop from the ceiling when people walk by. Today, there were quite a few, but you had to look for them.
