hi this is Tetra. they are a Japanese camel cricket (Diestrammena japanica) I’ve been raising over the winter after I found them as a baby.

I believe Tetra may be intersex since they have a much shorter ovipositor than a typical female, and I’d originally thought they were male as a younger nymph.

their hobbies include dwelling in crevices, eating dead roaches and cardboard, and spitting brown goop when picked up

btw Tetra is short for tetrabromomethane

this was Tetra as a wee little nymph. no, they don’t grow into their antennae with age
