Thread: Live Mole Crickets

I've seen them jump as far as grasshoppers, so I'm guessing they have to make it into the water every now and then, at least. I don't know if fish like them but armodillos sure do. The mole crickets get into the Bahia (that's pronounced Ba-hey-ia if I didn't spell it right) grass and eat the grass roots killing the Bahia and then the armodillos finish off the yard by digging it up looking for mole crickets to eat. Sure am glad I've got St. Augustine grass. Mole crickets don't like St. Augustine .

They look like a tan grasshopper or a tan cricket but a little different at the head. They dig into the soil. That's the best I can do. They are in Florida but I don't know if they are in any other states.

Ah, I found a link for them.

This article says they are in St. Augustine but where I live, they don't like it like they do Bahia.
