Does anyone know the actual name for these spider-looking crickets? They have a round, greyish brown body with long spidery legs. They can walk on walls and can jump real high. I get them every year in my house around the fall/winter time and they scare the heck out of me.
HA!! There's no way in hell I'm getting close enough to one of those to take a picture. And I've looked on the net for one.
maybe its a weta, giant wetas can get up to a foot long Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
They may not bite, but they are very intelligent. They jump after you and they wait all night in the bathroom for you, so when you get up in the morning for work you're trapped.
They don't get that big, just an average size for a cricket I guess. I'll look up wetas though, seems interesting...
just jokin, they can only get 9cm heres a pic: http://www.sciforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3017&stc=1

I use to have those outerspace looking creature's living in my basement when I lived in Va. I moved to N.Y and have not seen one in year's I guess it's to cold for them here. Now I just deal with ant's I can handle them much better. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
We've been dealing w/them going on 3 years. Wife is terrified. I dont love em either. We've been using glue traps and leave a light on. Glue traps work but want them gone! They are in basement, we've been cleaning it out Have yet to locate point of infestation.
