Grylloblatta bifratrilecta is a species of rock crawler in the family Grylloblattidae. [1] [2] [3] [4] It is found in North America, [1] including Sonora Pass and Carson Pass in the Sierra Nevada. [5]
It lives in crevices at high altitudes, typically above 7,000 feet (2,100 m). It is nocturnal and active mostly during winter months. [6]
Grylloblattidae, commonly known as the icebugs or ice crawlers, is a family of extremophile (psychrophile) and wingless insects that live in the cold on top of mountains and the edges of glaciers. It is the only member of Grylloblattodea, which is generally considered an order. Alternatively, Grylloblattodea, along with Mantophasmatodea, have been ranked as suborders of the order Notoptera. Grylloblattids are wingless insects mostly less than 3 cm long, with a head resembling that of a cockroach, with long antennae and having elongated cerci arising from the tip of their abdomen. They cannot tolerate warmth and many species have small distribution ranges.
