don't think
S. didactylus
is recorded from the upper 48, and this really looks like
S. vicinus
to me. I'm not an expert on Mole Crickets, but
S. vicinus
is common in Florida and Georgia, and
S. didactylus
seems to be unknown from the country (except Puerto Rico), so seems the common one that looks exactly like this would be the more likely candidate - yes?

One of the editors needs to create a guide page.

Is this a recent introduction?
We didn't notice any information indicating that this species was now in Florida, but we could very well have missed it.
