The Mole Cricket is a rare bug first introduced in Animal Crossing and made a return in all other games.

How to Catch

The Mole Cricket will be found underground. You will know when it is near when it emits a croaking sounds from underneath the ground. The croaking will grow louder as you get closer. Once you identify the area that the sound is at its loudest, you will need to equip your shovel and dig where you think it might be. As soon as you discover it, the mole cricket will jump out of the whole and start to jump away. You will need to now equip your net and be fast at catching it, because if the mole cricket is located near water, it will try to jump into it to avoid being caught.

Real Life

In real life, mole crickets have thick-bodied shells, big black eyes, and wings. Mole crickets can fly as far as eight kilometers. They use their large forelimbs to burrow into the ground and to swim. Mole crickets are omnivores and prefer to eat things such as larvae, grass, and worms. Mole crickets are nocturnal, meaning they are awake at night and sleep in the day. They create large and extensive tunnels in the ground under lawns and golf courses so that they are rarely seen. Most mistake them for cockroaches as call them pests. In Asia, some people eat them.
