Here are some better pictures of a mole cricket, we could consider replacing the current ones with these.

Just to be clear this is not my hosting, so be gentle.

Does someone know how to fix the photo in the taxobox?Dyanega 22:50, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Done :) Also, I noticed that you changed the link from Insect to Insecta, while the link was changed to the true name, it's best to keep the link changed to the actual page as to avoid redirects. If the target page gets moved, it would end in a double redirect which does not go all the way through. I also removed the excessive amount of taxons, revert that if you really think it's necessary--Kugamazog 16:24, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, it looks a lot like an earwig. Related?

Fascinating shit- seriously i never knew they existed before today. Kotare 06:53, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

-- In deed fascinating! Does anybody know if any existing pictures of this insect in flight? The notion that this thing can fly is simply mind-boggling! Lowcrust 11:43, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Only anecdotal, down in florida I saw one in the driveway one night, after freaking out I tried to catch in and it flew away. Not the most agile of flyiers, but still more than enough to escape from me!

The last two sentences (Nintendo reference and "turning pink") seem inappropriate for this kind of article. I'd like to remove them Wefa 11:24, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

nice. somebody did this, 3 days later... Wefa 22:58, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

In Mexico, there is something they call Baby Face o Cara del Nino.... It resembles a Mole Cricket but has a much rounder, almost humanlike face. Public opinion is mixed on the subject in that some people say it is highly posineous.....—The preceding unsigned comment was added to Talk:Mole cricket/Comments by 201.141.147.22 (talk • contribs) 13:09, 13 June 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Electrical resistance

I see the text about the electrical resistance of the Mole cricket was reinstated by an anonymous editor. Please do not replace this text, as it constitutes original research. --Slashme 17:32, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mole Cricket Vision

Interesting question: do at least some mole crickets have poor vision, like the mammalian moles?

BTW, I actually saw a mole cricket once, when I was stationed down in Texas with the Army, fascinating little beast. Incidentally, my kudos to the user who took that shot of a mole cricket for this article, since it was not only a beautiful shot in itself but was a very nice clean high-res "print".
