Digging in dirt
Some insects live underground. Mole crickets dig into
dirt to create burrows. These crickets donât 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 îy.
Mole crickets do
not îy 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 insectâs body.
Velvety hair covers the
mole crickets front legs.
Mole crickets use their front
legs like shovels to move dirt.
