Desert Cricket

[ A jerusalem Cricket ]

[ A mormon Cricket ]

This strange looking cricket lives in the Indian and Pakistan deserts. It can disappear into the sand in a few seconds time! You must have noticed the long, weird legs of this cricket, right? Well, these strong legs can dig a hole right underneath the cricket and that is why it can perform the disappearing act. The ends of the wings of this cricket are curled up together to keep them out of the way when it is digging.
