The perfect insect

Hi all , can anyone identifie this insect!! I can`t find the translation from italian to English , I called the perfect insect because this insect about 2 inches long can actually fly , dig and swim and he eats any veg roots , like a mole.

 

You nearly had it there Sal, he's a Mole Cricket.

 

how do you kill it ........

Zigs , how do you know he is a boy ?

wow a slipper it`s an idea , there is an invasion of it ......it will be hard to dig them all out and use a slipper

 

Sal

haaaaa ....that`s why my grandmother has so many in her land , she only have size 6 slipper .
My girlfriend grandmother, live in Latvia , near the russian tundra , the soil it really sandy and peaty , but really rich and constantly humid as water start to emerge at 3 feet down , she is 73 and she really need to save her veg to support her all winter ......any not slipper advice would be really nice as those mole cricket are eating all at the moment

 

You don't, you put him in a nice cage, feed him tasty root vegetables & cuddle him regularly.

 

and when is fat enough , olive oil , salt and pepper

no more horrible gabbage for winter but tasty mole cricket

 

Do you keep many pets Sal?

 

just 4 goldfish ......why .....
