Digging in dirt

Some insects live underground. Mole crickets dig into

dirt to create burrows. These crickets don’t need to

move fast because there are not as many predators

underground. Adult mole crickets have wings that are

much smaller than their bodies. Small wings make

them clumsy in the air when they y.

Mole crickets do

not y very often.

Built for life underground

Mole crickets have adapted to their environment.

They have large, powerful front legs used for

digging. Mole crickets have tiny hairs along their

body and legs. These hairs help to keep the soil

from sticking to the insect’s body.

Velvety hair covers the

mole crickets front legs.

Mole crickets use their front

legs like shovels to move dirt.
