Moved from Jerusalem Cricket

Note that "Mahogany Jerusalem Cricket" is not being treated as if one species here, but more like a sorting category in which one or more similar looking species might be included. Eventually, hopefully, there will be a revision of the genus published that should help to sort the several species of Jerusalem Crickets out (there seem to be considerably more species than there are names to go with them). In the mean time, the dark "plainish" looking ones from California are mostly filed under this heading.

Stenopelmatidae - Jerusalem C
Stenopelmatidae - Jerusalem Cricket, I think.



Please fix the location - the County field should only contain the official name of the County (in this case, San Francisco as well). You could say "Golden Gate Bridge overlook, San Francisco, San Francisco County, California, USA" which would be fine!
