very interesting find
There are two species reported from CA, Gryllotalpa cultriger and Scapteriscus borellii.
The pronotal pattern looks closer to S. borellii, but wait for an expert.

Moved
Moved from ID Request.

A mole cricket of some kind. For information, click on the Info tab above.

Moving these images into the Guide because they represent our first mole cricket from west of the Rockies. Other editors will decide whether or not to keep them.

Welcome to BugGuide!
