Allonemobius tinnulus
Tinkling Ground Cricket
Allonemobius tinnulus, commonly known as the tinkling ground cricket, is a small cricket species in the family Trigonidiidae. It is native to eastern North America and produces a distinctive high-pitched, tinkling song. The species was originally described as a subspecies of Nemobius fasciatus before being elevated to full species status. It inhabits forest floor environments and leaf litter.
Anaxipha tinnulacita
Fast-tinkling Trig
Anaxipha tinnulacita is a small swordtail cricket described in 2014 from eastern North America. Males produce both calling songs and distinct courtship songs when in the presence of females. This species exhibits substrate-borne vibrational communication through drumming behavior, which is unique among studied congeners in commonly occurring during calling songs.
Diceroprocta bequaerti
Gulf Saltmarsh Cicada
Diceroprocta bequaerti is a species of annual cicada in the family Cicadidae, native to North America. It is one of several Diceroprocta species found in the southern United States, where it inhabits coastal and near-coastal environments. Like other cicadas in this genus, it produces sound through tymbal organs to attract mates. The species was described by William T. Davis in 1917.
Eunemobius melodius
Melodious Ground Cricket
Eunemobius melodius is a small ground cricket native to eastern North America. It produces a distinctive, melodious trill that distinguishes it acoustically from congeners. The species inhabits moist ground-level vegetation and leaf litter in forested and semi-open habitats. It is one of several Eunemobius species whose identification relies heavily on male calling song characteristics.
Gryllus multipulsator
Long-chirp Field Cricket
Gryllus multipulsator is a field cricket species described by Weissman in 2009, known by the common name Long-chirp Field Cricket. It belongs to the genus Gryllus, which includes many common field crickets found in North America. The species is distinguished by its characteristic long chirp pattern. It is native to California and has been documented through 90 iNaturalist observations.
Hapithus
Hapithus is a large genus of flightless bush crickets comprising over 200 described species, primarily distributed across the Americas. Formerly treated as a separate genus, Orocharis has been synonymized with Hapithus and is now recognized as a subgenus. The genus is the namesake of the tribe Hapithini within the family Oecanthidae. These crickets are characterized by their inability to fly, a trait that distinguishes them from many related bush crickets.
Melanoplus tequestae
tequestae scrub grasshopper, tequesta grasshopper
Melanoplus tequestae is a spur-throated grasshopper endemic to Florida scrub habitat. It is restricted to three counties in central Florida and is one of the more narrowly distributed members of the large genus Melanoplus. The species has been studied for its mating behavior, which involves male calling songs and visual courtship displays.
Neduba
shield-back katydid
Neduba is a genus of shield-back katydids (Tettigoniidae) endemic to North America. The genus comprises 21 described species, including one extinct species (N. extincta). A 2021 revision established species boundaries using molecular phylogenetics, morphology, quantitative analysis of calling songs, and karyotypes. The group represents a relict lineage whose diversification reflects cycles of allopatric isolation and secondary contact in western North America.
Neoconocephalus caudellianus
Caudell's conehead
Neoconocephalus caudellianus, commonly known as Caudell's conehead, is a species of katydid in the family Tettigoniidae. It is native to southeastern North America, with confirmed records from Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi. As a member of the genus Neoconocephalus, it is among the largest katydids in eastern North America, with some congeners exceeding seven centimeters in length. Like other conehead katydids, males produce species-specific calling songs through stridulation of modified forewings.
Neonemobius palustris
Sphagnum Ground Cricket, Marsh Ground Cricket
Neonemobius palustris is a small ground cricket in the family Trigonidiidae, found in eastern North America. Males measure approximately 5.7 mm and females about 6.8 mm in length. The species is strongly associated with moist habitats, particularly dense patches of sphagnum moss, sandhill seeps, and wet longleaf pine savannas. It produces a distinctive calling song consisting of trills several seconds in duration separated by pauses of similar length.
Oecanthus celerinictus
fast-calling tree cricket
Oecanthus celerinictus, the fast-calling tree cricket, is a North American tree cricket species in the family Oecanthidae. It is distinguished from congeners primarily by its rapid calling song. The species occurs in the southeastern United States.
Oecanthus rileyi
Riley's tree cricket, pine tree cricket
Oecanthus rileyi, commonly known as Riley's tree cricket or pine tree cricket, is a North American tree cricket species in the family Oecanthidae. It belongs to a genus characterized by distinctive singing behavior and arboreal habits. The species was described by Baker in 1905.
