Orthoptera-Rhaphidophoridae-Ceuthophilus conicaudus-Camel Crickets MALE (C)

Ceuthophilus conicaudus

Tom Mays Unit, Cottonwood Spring trail
Franklin Mountains Park
El Paso, El Paso County, Texas
November 7, 2015
Found in an abandoned copper mine
Determined by David J. Ferguson who said: “While apparently not recorded from quite this far west, this appears to be Ceuthophilus conicaudus. It has been found at least as near as the Davis Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns. Intensity of coloring varies in the species, but the pattern and the morphology seem right.”
