Mole cricket

'Mole Crickets can be found during the winter, making a low, repetitive noise underground, from which they can be indentified. Players will have to dig in the area in which the noise is loudest. Having been uncovered, the mole cricket will scuttle away. It may jump into water to escape the Player.

The mole cricket featured in-game is similar in appearance to Gryllotalpa brachyptera, a mole cricket native to Australia, but it could belong to any of the Gryllotalpidae species.

Further Information
Mole crickets can be found throughout the world, specifically in more temperate climates. They are nocturnal and hibernate during the winter. They are rarely seen, as they live underground in tunnel networks, but are nonethless regarded as pests. They have large forelimbs that can be used to dig and swim. They are roughly 3 to 5 centimetres long and are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals.

In some areas of Asia they are eaten, but only when fried.

Mole Crickets also feature as a character in another of Ninendo's games- Mother 3.
