The tympanum, or ear, is located in the front tibia in crickets, mole crickets, and bush crickets or katydids, and on the first abdominal segment in the grasshoppers and locusts. [2] These organisms use vibrations to locate other individuals. Grasshoppers and other orthopterans are able to fold their wings (i.e. they are members of Neoptera).
Grasshoppers eat large quantities of foliage both as adults and during their development, and can be serious pests of arid land and prairies. Pasture, grain, forage, vegetable and other crops can be affected. Grasshoppers often bask in the sun, and thrive in warm sunny conditions, so drought stimulates an increase in grasshopper populations.
The tympanum or ear is located in the front tibia in crickets, mole crickets, and katydids, and on the first abdominal segment in the grasshoppers and locusts. These organisms use vibrations to locate other individuals. There are two suborders and 235 subfamilies are in this order.
Acrididae grasshoppers are characterized by relatively short and stout antennae (so they may be called "short-horned grasshoppers" [3]), and tympana on the side of the first abdominal segment. Subfamilies
The two main families in this are the Acrididae (grasshoppers and locusts) with a worldwide distribution, and the Romaleidae (lubber grasshoppers), found chiefly in the New World. The Ommexechidae and Tristiridae are South American, and the Lentulidae, Lithidiidae and Pamphagidae are mainly African.
Tympanal organ on the tibia of the katydid Zabalius aridus Tympanal organ of two species of moths, ventral view of abdomen (Tineidae and Pyralidae). A tympanal organ (or tympanic organ) is a hearing organ in insects, consisting of a tympanal membrane stretched across a frame backed by an air sac and associated sensory neurons. [1]

Pyrgomorphidae is a family of grasshoppers in the order Orthoptera; it is the only family in the superfamily Pyrgomorphoidea. [1] Pyrgomorphidae are found worldwide in tropical and warm temperate regions (though none are from US mainland), [1] but the vast majority of the family's approximately 500 species are from Africa, Asia and Australia.
