From mygardens: "This Northern Mole Cricket is generally not found in colder areas such as this zone 6b, New York. However, with the global warming, it eats the roots of our plants and has made it impossible to grow vegetables in our vegetable garden. We have to plant in large pots & stuff fine netting in the holes."
