Jackal Spider Crab
I remember reading on this wiki that these were called 'Jackal Spider Crabs', or something similar. Anyone know what happened to that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.218.85.222 (talk) 18:01, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Pictures
I think this article would be much better without so many pictures :-/ Maybe not have the pictures on the page, but a link to click on if one wanted to look at a picture. These things CREEP me out, and probably lots of other people. I'd love to read an article on ANY insect, even if they creep me out...if I didn't have to look at them. The article says that these insects are completely harmless; that puts my mind at ease, but I'd rather not have them staring me in the face while I find that out...

I've got an image of winged cave cricket Féstö Médíq (talk) 18:09, 8 February 2022 (UTC)


 * If it has wings, then you have misidentified it, and it is something in a different family. Is this image available online for viewing? Dyanega (talk) 22:03, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Names
I'm from Virginia, and we've always called them "cricket spiders" or "jumping spiders". From a distance, they look like spiders, but then they jump at you like a cricket when you try to squash them, which makes you scream in abject terror. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.110.223.22 (talk) 03:01, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
 * We had them when I lived in northern Georgia... at least something that looked like them... and I was told that they were called "latrine bugs." PurpleChez (talk) 20:17, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

How to get rid of them
I've found that by placing duct tape, sticky side up next to walls and especially next to any holes in the walls (say in an unfinished basement) can land 6 or 7 of these things on a single strip. Give them about a week to starve out before throwing away. Often times you'll catch more of them as they come to eat their dying/dead friends. They'll often times succeed in eating the one only to get themselves stuck; eventually you won't have a camel cricket problem for the rest of the winter. Have fun.
