What do camel crickets look like?
Camel crickets, or "cave crickets," are recognized for their humpbacked appearance. They thrive in dark, moist environments and can often be found in basements and crawl spaces. Unlike other cricket species, camel crickets do not chirp since they lack the ability to produce sound.
