was tracking crickets by sound.
the sound was a dull trill drumming, so i thought i was tracking jerusalems.
then i found one, and at first thought it WAS a jerusalem, It was robust, and bitey. but it has a saddle-like thorax that overlaps the head. is black, and has a strange defensive posture. if you approach, it flips itself over and streaches its legs out, if you get closet is grabs at you with its legs. but only seems to try a bite if you restrain it.
I cant find anything about such crickets.
They were found in the okanagan valley, on a north facing slope with pine trees.
as a general rule, things like scorpions and jerusalmem crickets are all on south slopes.
