Jackal Spider Crab

[edit]

I remember reading on this wiki that these were called 'Jackal Spider Crabs', or something similar. Anyone know what happened to that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.218.85.222 (talk) 18:01, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures

[edit]

I think this article would be much better without so many pictures :-/ Maybe not have the pictures on the page, but a link to click on if one wanted to look at a picture. These things CREEP me out, and probably lots of other people. I'd love to read an article on ANY insect, even if they creep me out...if I didn't have to look at them. The article says that these insects are completely harmless; that puts my mind at ease, but I'd rather not have them staring me in the face while I find that out...

I've got an image of winged cave cricket Féstö Médíq (talk) 18:09, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If it has wings, then you have misidentified it, and it is something in a different family. Is this image available online for viewing? Dyanega (talk) 22:03, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Names

[edit]

I'm from Virginia, and we've always called them "cricket spiders" or "jumping spiders". From a distance, they look like spiders, but then they jump at you like a cricket when you try to squash them, which makes you scream in abject terror. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.110.223.22 (talk) 03:01, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We had them when I lived in northern Georgia... at least something that looked like them... and I was told that they were called "latrine bugs." PurpleChez (talk) 20:17, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How to get rid of them

[edit]

I've found that by placing duct tape, sticky side up next to walls and especially next to any holes in the walls (say in an unfinished basement) can land 6 or 7 of these things on a single strip. Give them about a week to starve out before throwing away. Often times you'll catch more of them as they come to eat their dying/dead friends. They'll often times succeed in eating the one only to get themselves stuck; eventually you won't have a camel cricket problem for the rest of the winter. Have fun.
