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 .

The Oecanthidae are a recently (2022 [1]) restored family of crickets based on the type genus Oecanthus Serville, 1831.They include "tree crickets", "anomalous crickets" and "bush crickets" (American usage) and can be found in warmer parts of most of the world (not the northern Palaearctic, Nearctic or Antarctica).
Unusually for insects in the grasshopper family, wood crickets survive for two years. [4] Being flightless, these crickets are limited in their dispersal abilities; males have been found to disperse over 55 m (180 ft) from the woodland edge but females and nymphs did not move nearly so far. [5] Dispersal along the edge of woodland is more possible.

Caconemobius fori is a small cricket, approximately 9 mm (0.35 in) in length. [2] It lacks wings but is capable of jumping significant distances when disturbed. This species is darkly colored with an overall shiny quality, causing them to blend in extremely well with the freshly solidified lava that makes up their habitat.

The chirp (or trill) of a tree cricket is long and continuous and can sometimes be mistaken for the call of a cicada or certain species of frogs. While male tree crickets have the ability to call, females lack the ability. [5] This call is then received by other tree crickets in the area through a system called sender-receiver matching.
