Underwater cave cricket

[Deleted]

Did anyone see this weeks bbc programme, The Dark, natures nighttime world? That cave cricket that swims underwater, 2 miles inside a cave?? Fantastic. You must watch it on catch up..
The actual cricket footage is 40 minutes on..

But I was wondering if the swimming was just a coincidence. Does it really live on land and only swim when it falls into water?
Great show though, I have watched both episodes and look forward to tomorrows.

hiya dave.
What i could gather was that this was an entirely new species and was well adapted to hunting both underwater and on the land. It lives down there and i thought that it must be equatic as the cave system would flood from time to time.
yes i look forward to tonights episode also
