This group which also includes Locusts and Crickets is instantly recognizable by its long hind legs which are modified for jumping.
The Orthoptera can be found in most habitats, from grassland and forest to seashores and from bogs and marshes to desert. Some live underground, other species are arboreal and still others are quite happy swimming on or even under the water.
Most species, particularly crickets use 3 different sorts of song either for courting or for expressing aggression.
Songs are produced by rubbing a ridge of teeth 'a bow' on the underside of the upperwing being dragged across a 'scraper' (a strengthened vein) on the top side of the lower wing.
