Thk Mole-Cricket at Home. 



I'he moIe-crickct is as expert and rapid a diver into the earth as the true mole. The female constructs a special chamber near the surface, 

 in which she deposits her yellow eggs to the number of several hundreds. From the egg to maturity the mole-crickot's development is spread 

 over four years.
