These bizarre subterranean relatives to crickets and grasshoppers are common throughout the southwest US and Mexico and spend their lives in burrows eating just about anything they can find. While harmless to us humans, it’s not at all uncommon for these primarily vegetarian insects to kill and eat other small animals if they find themselves in a position to.
