With powerful legs for digging and enclosed auditory organs to keep dirt out, European Mole Crickets are especially designed for underground living. They rarely venture to the surface, except to breed in May and June, and feed on subterranean fare such as earthworms, grubs and caterpillars. Ancient creatures, Mole Crickets are known to have existed 35 million years ago.
