Which insect is the Camel Cricket?

• A. Camel Cricket
• B. Cicada
• C. Chinch Bug
• D. Codling Moth

Answer: (A)

Camel crickets are wingless crickets with a humpbacked body, very long antennae, and a tendency to inhabit damp, dark places. They belong to the family Rhaphophoridae and are often called cave crickets or sprickets. Among the options, the one labeled Camel Cricket matches these characteristics and is the insect in question by its name. The other choices refer to very different insects: cicadas are large, winged, and loud; chinch bugs are tiny plant-feeding true bugs that affect grasses; codling moths are small moths whose larvae bore into fruit. So the camel cricket is identified by its own name and distinctive wingless, humpbacked form.
