What's The Name Of This Insect? by OndoRaph(op): 9:14pm On Aug 09, 2025
This is one insect I don't know its name.

It's a noctunal insect that looks like a cricket but lives with humans in houses.

If you know its name, it might help not just me but someone else too.

That's true. And crickets don't live with humans in rooms.

Crickets are even edible but that insect is not.

Nymph of a house cricket. ie before it develop wings. Its important that we understand the life cycle of insects that lives around us like housefly, mosquitoes, termites so as to know how to effectively control them.
