Mole crickets stridulate like other crickets by scraping the rear edge of the left fore wing, which forms a plectrum, against the lower surface of the right fore wing, which has a ratchet-like series of asymmetric teeth; the more acute edges face backwards, as do those of the plectrum. The plectrum can move forward with little resistance, but ...
Cricket flour is used in protein bars, pet foods, livestock feed, nutraceuticals, and other industrial applications. The United Nations says that the use of insect protein, such as cricket flour, could be critical in feeding the growing population of the planet while being less damaging to the environment. [58]
The development of insect mouthparts from the primitive chewing mouthparts of a grasshopper in the centre (A), to the lapping type (B) of a bee, the siphoning type (C) of a butterfly and the sucking type (D) of a female mosquito.
Male Gryllotalpa vineae in singing position in burrow. Gryllotalpa vineae is believed to produce a louder sound than any other insect. [3] The male stridulates by raising and lowering his wing cases repeatedly while scraping the rear edge of the left forewing, which forms a plectrum, against the lower edge of the right forewing, which has a ratchet-like series of teeth.

The specific derived morphology of the teeth on the mandible varies depending on whether the insect eats broad-leafed herbs or grasses. [ citation needed ] This same simple structure is seen in all of the remaining Polyneopteran insect orders, with the exception of the Paraneoptera ( Hemiptera , Thysanoptera , and Phthiraptera ).
