Neoscapteriscus borellii, the southern mole cricket, is a species of insect in the family Gryllotalpidae.

Scapteriscus borellii is a fairly large mole cricket growing to a length of about 3 cm (1.2 in).

[3] The call, sung only by males, usually within two hours of sunset, is a low-pitched trill with a pulse rate of about 50 per second.

[5] In its native South America, populations of S. borellii are kept under control by natural enemies, but in the southern United States, where it appeared in the early 1900s, it is regarded as an invasive pest species.

Breeding takes place in the spring and there may be two generations of nymphs in southern Florida during the summer, but only one further north.
