Camel Cricket - Ceuthophilus - male

Camel Cricket - Ceuthophilus - Male
Richmond Hill, York Region, Ontario, Canada
July 22, 2007
Size: ~ 20 mm
Long hind legs with a remarkable system of spines. I tested the kick's strength by prodding the cricket from behind with a finger. My conclusion: the sharp-spined kick is good defense against other invertebrates, but no match for a finger.
