Cave crickets, also called camel crickets, are wingless, hump-backed insects known for their long legs and powerful jumping ability. They thrive in cool, damp environments like basements, crawl spaces, and garages. While they do not bite, their sudden jumps can startle homeowners. They feed on fungus, decaying matter, and even fabrics, sometimes damaging clothing and stored items. Reducing moisture and sealing entry points helps prevent infestations.
