About Neocurtilla hexadactyla (Perty, 1832)

Neocurtilla hexadactyla, commonly called the northern mole cricket, is a species of mole cricket. It is native to eastern North America, and its range extends from southern eastern Canada through the eastern and central United States. This species also occurs in South America, where it may be an adventive species. The wasp Larra analis preys on Neocurtilla hexadactyla, and parasitizes its live mole cricket hosts.
