Stenopelmatus fuscus

Information about the Jerusalem Cricket:

Jerusalem Crickets - also called 'Potato Bugs - are large, flightless insects of the of the genus Stenopelmatus. Ironically, they are not native to Jerusalem and they do not feed on potatoes. It's thought their odd name comes from a combination of Navajo and Christian terminology. Despite their appearance they are not venomous or dangerous, but when handled or threatened they can bite and/or emit a foul odor. Unlike some other crickets they do not chirp, but a few of the genus can produce a rasping sound by rubbing their legs against the sides of their abdomen.
