Female raspy cricket nymph of the family Gryllacrididae
Raspy crickets spend the daylight hours in burrows constructed of leaves and twigs or stand held together by silk produced by their mouthparts. They have very long antennae which they fold in a circular manner around themselves in their burrows. Female nymphs have ovipositors recurved over their backs, supposedly so they can fit into a tighter space.
