They're harmless as far as I know, but they do seem to enjoy jumping on you. A friend of mine actually has a phobia of them. She calls them spider crickets.

My husband is a plumber and had to go under a house one time that had hundreds of them under there! He said they would all back into the corner and when he'd turn his back they'd slowly creep forward...until he looked at them again and they creep backwards again! Weird! Like little aliens.

Yea, I am rewiring my house, and I have to go into the crawl space to do the receptacles. I found, literally, thousands of these under there. A bug bomb I set off killed maybe half at best. Looks like it's time for a triple bomb attack. And a good dry insect killer application to boot.
