| Jerusalem Cricket |
Naturally, I grabbed my camera to try to get a picture of it.
With its dark brown head and stripped body, long antennae and articulated legs, it was pretty weird looking.
It turned out to be a Jerusalem Cricket, Stenopelmatus fuscus.
They mostly eat other insects, which we would be happy to encourage, but they are also known as a Potato Bug because they occasionally feed on the roots of potatoes.
That was not good news and could explain why our potatoes haven't been doing so well lately.
