Oohh is that what they are. I found one in one of the natives I brought home. I thought it may have been a sandgroper.

I thought it was a locust at first but my natural examination said otherwise, because of its strange similarity to a cricket(back end of a cricket) and not a praying mantis(because locust have more of a pray mantis style jaw set) I identified the rough shape to the little picture from animal crossing, and its front legs have a digging style to them.
But then my dad said it was a locust, then I came home and decided to look it up I was right mole cricket.

^,^ its funny how they look like two insects stuck together
