Hadenoecus cumberlandicus,[1] the Cumberland cave cricket, is a species of camel cricket in the family Rhaphidophoridae. It is found in North America along the west of the Cumberland Plateau.[2][3][4][5]
The Cumberland cave cricket aggregates into groups or clusters within cave wall recesses and is considered vital to cave community ecosystems, noted as a keystone species.[6]
