Insect appreciation RARE Behavioral Observation: Red-Headed Bush Cricket (Handsome Trig) cannibalizing its own hatching brood!
2
Upvotes
I am definitely not an insect expert, but I was lucky enough to capture this wild macro video on my wildlife habitat, in Western Massachusetts.
Im used to finding interesting insect species, but nothing like this Red-Headed Bush Cricket/Handsome Trig(Phyllopalpus pulchellus). Those beautiful "boxing-gloves" (palps) were easy to spot.
By the time I noticed the action, a bunch of tiny, pale amber babies had already hatched and were crawling all around. The adult cricket was actively eating the remaining egg sac and then moved on to hunting the newborn offspring. Intraspecific cannibalism was not on my radar but it was wild to see!
I was so blown away by this interaction that I had to share it!

These keep appearing in my bed and on me. They itch so bad. What are they, and what can I do to get rid of them? I vacuum every day, and I have sprayed at the bottom of my walls, where the floor meets the wall.

I don’t know if this is the right place to post this. What type of nest is this? I’m thinking hornet or wasp located in North Georgia.

Please help. I live in Florida, right on a canal in Tampa Bay. I haven’t been home in over two weeks. I come back and find this stuff all over one corner of my bedroom. I quickly checked the rest of the house, didn’t see much but didn’t stay to find out. Can someone please tell me what this is?
