This little one, along with all the other insects we saw that day #hiking, were all moving slowly due to the chilly temperatures. Hopefully it dug itself a little den in the dirt.
A photo of a "Jerusalem cricket". These are not crickets, but that is one of their common names. The photo shows a small area of grass and small green plants on stall brown soil, sparsely criss crossed by light tan bits of longer grasses. In the center of the image is the insect, facing toward the top of the image. It has six chubby, segmented legs of an orange color. Three on each side of the body. It's abdomen is as long as it's back legs, looks a bit rotund, and has dark segmented rings around it's length, that are shiny. It's central body, or thorax, is where it's legs all attach, and is a dark orange color. It's head is the same dark orange color as the thorax, with one of it's small black eyes visible on the right side of the head. Just above it's right eye, one of it's two antennas begins. Both antennas are visible, and are a light tan color, and are long and delicate looking. It's colors make it contrast strongly against the green of the small plants it is laying across.

🦗 Critter Fact of the Day #79
Jerusalem crickets aren’t crickets or from Jerusalem. But they are chunky, weirdly endearing diggers. #jerusalemcricket #insectweirdness #chunkybugs
