Locomotor behavior is a hallmark of animal biology and ecology. Mole crickets constitute a unique group of subterranean insects that present an exceptional model for locomotion-related research. In response to an aversive stimulus from the front, the mole cricket will consistently adopt a unique backwards gait that we have termed backward-bound. This never before reported six-legged gait comprises a cyclic alternation between the middle and hind-leg pairs with left-right in-phase synchronization, while the front legs display noisy and less consistent phase dynamics. This exceptional gait is transient and is usually expressed for up to a dozen cycles. It is employed to distance the animal quickly away from danger. A gait that can be characterized as forward-bound is also displayed by the mole cricket, albeit for a much shorter duration (up to two cycles).
