Northern Mole Cricket - Neocurtilla hexadactyla - Female
Snowhill Road, north of Cabin Branch Creek, Treyburn area, Durham County, North Carolina, USA
September 8, 2006
Size: 38 mm
Found this on a lighted breezeway about 9:00 p.m. Captured, chilled, and posed. Length of 38 mm does not include the "tails", nor the antennae. I'll have some detail shots for thumbnails for the guide page.
Male or female? I don't know--will have to look at references.
