These guys are hiding under our flower pots. Any idea what they are? They jump but seem rather spastic when they do; like they don't really know how.
Crickets? Should we be concerned?

CLOSED: Black Jumping Beetle?
This is one of the field crickets (family Gryllidae; Gryllus sp.) - see http://fieldguide.mt.gov/speciesDetail.aspx?elcode=IIORT69010 for an example. I do not believe that they are serious pests.
