Neocurtilla hexadactyla, commonly known as the northern mole cricket, is a species of mole cricket that is native to eastern North America.[2][3] It also occurs in South America, where it may be an adventive species.[4] Its range extends from the southern reaches of eastern Canada and through the eastern and central United States.[4] It is preyed upon by the wasp Larra analis, which parasitizes live mole cricket hosts.[5]
