Family Gryllacrididae




In Gryllacrididae the antennae are separated at the base by the length of the first antennal segment or greater, and the hind femora extend beyond the end of the abdomen (but only when they are parallel with the abdomen; thus not in this view).

This individual is making a shelter with silk spun from the mouth (note the silk strands tying together the leaf surfaces behind the leafroller).
