Camel cricket killed by fungus - Ceuthophilus maculatus - female

Camel cricket killed by fungus - Ceuthophilus maculatus - Female
Durham, New Hampshire, USA
July 12, 2009
Found this insect covered in white mold and with a shriveled abdomen. Is there a place on BugGuide to put insects killed by or playing host to hosting fungi*?
(I said 'playing host to' since there is at least one fungus that I know of that grows on coccinellids but does not kill them to my knowledge.)

That said, I don't know how many species of camel crickets we have in New Hampshire, or how to tell the difference between them.

without having the specimen in hand,
I don't have high hopes of figuring out which species she is, but I'm going to try and identify and sort all of these on BugGuide soon.

Moved from ID Request.
