The family Gryllidae contains the subfamilies and genera which entomologists now term true crickets.Having long, whip-like antennae, they belong to the Orthopteran suborder Ensifera, which has been greatly reduced in the last 100 years (e.g. Imms [3]): taxa such as the tree crickets, spider-crickets and their allies, sword-tail crickets, wood or ground crickets and scaly crickets have been ...
Grylloidea is the superfamily of insects, in the order Orthoptera, known as crickets.It includes the "true crickets", scaly crickets, wood crickets and many other subfamilies, now placed in six extant families; some genera are only known from fossils.
Crickets are orthopteran insects which are related to bush crickets and more distantly, to grasshoppers.In older literature, such as Imms, [3] "crickets" were placed at the family level (i.e. Gryllidae), but contemporary authorities including Otte now place them in the superfamily Grylloidea. [1]
Gryllidea [1] is an infraorder that includes crickets and similar insects in the order Orthoptera. There are two superfamilies, and more than 6,000 described species in Gryllidea. There are two superfamilies, and more than 6,000 described species in Gryllidea.
Gryllus is a genus of field cricket (Orthoptera, Gryllidae, Gryllinae). Members of the genus are typically 15–31 mm long and darkly coloured. [2] The type species is Gryllus campestris L.: the European field cricket.
Gryllinae, or field crickets, are a subfamily of insects in the order Orthoptera and the family Gryllidae. They hatch in spring, and the young crickets (called nymphs) eat and grow rapidly. They shed their skin eight or more times before they become adults. Field crickets eat a broad range of food: seeds, plants, or insects (dead or alive).
Gryllus pennsylvanicus is known as the fall field cricket.G. pennsylvanicus is common in southern Ontario, is widespread across much of North America [3] [4] and can be found even into parts of northern Mexico.
The Gryllotalpoidea are a superfamily of insects that includes the mole crickets and the ant crickets. [1] The type genus is Gryllotalpa. [1] [2] [3]Recent (2015) molecular phylogenetic studies support the monophyly of the cricket clade (Gryllidea in the Orthoptera Species File [4]) and its subdivision into two clades: Gryllotalpidae and Myrmecophilidae on the one hand, and all the other ...
