Hi,
I am looking for a specific type of cricket or grasshopper. I am not sure which one it is exactly because I have never seen it, only heard of its description. In mexico, it is referred as the "grillo nino" which is roughly translated to the cricket kid. it is described as a cricket that resembles a child. My mother tells me that she used to see these insects alot when she was a kid. she explains that when you turn it on its back, the face of the cricket resembles that of a child with it'sarms and legs too...i'm very intrigued by this insect. It may not even be a cricket or grasshopper or whatever.
if anybody knows of an insect that fits this discription, please letmeknow. she also mentioned to me, although i am not sure how factual this may be, that this cricket would either sting or bite, and did cause infections of some sort, so my guess would be that it would posses some type of venom.
I am open to any suggestions of what this insect might be. email me at either erik_ut_01@hotmail.com or erik_ut_2001@yahoo.com with your ideas.
Thanks alot!
