Description
Most cave crickets have very large hind legs with ""drumstick-shaped"" femora and equally long, thin tibiae, and long, slender antennae. The antennae arise closely and next to each other on the head. They are brownish in color and rather humpbacked in appearance, always wingless, and up to 2.0 in long in body and 3.9 in for the legs. The bodies of early instars may appear translucent.
