Cricket is a bat-and-ball sport contested by two teams.
Insects in the family Tettigoniidae are commonly called katydids or bush crickets. They have previously been known as "long-horned grasshoppers". More than 8,000 species are known. Part of the suborder Ensifera, the Tettigoniidae are the only extant (living) family in the superfamily Tettigonioidea.
The family Gryllidae contains the subfamilies and genera which entomologists now term true crickets. Having long, whip-like antennae, they belong to the Orthopteran suborder Ensifera, which has been greatly reduced in the last 100 years : taxa such as the spider-crickets and allies, sword-tail crickets, wood or ground crickets and scaly crickets have been elevated to family level. The type genus is Gryllus and the first use of the family name "Gryllidae" was by Francis Walker.
Odontura is the scientific name of two genera of organisms and may refer to:
Pterochroza ocellata, the peacock katydid, is an insect in the family Tettigoniidae from the Amazon rainforest in South America. It is the only species in the genus Pterochroza. The species is a leaf-mimic katydid; when it is in repose its camouflage resembles a diseased or dead leaf. The katydid owes both its common name and its specific epithet to its startle display, in which it shows false eye spots on its normally hidden hind wings.
Conocephalus fasciatus, the slender meadow katydid, is a species of katydid of the family Tettigoniidae that is native to the United States and Canada.
Microcentrum retinerve is a species in the family Tettigoniidae ("katydids"), in the order Orthoptera. A common name for Microcentrum retinerve is lesser angle-winged katydid. Microcentrum retinerve is found in North America.
Microcentrum rhombifolium is a species of insect in the family Tettigoniidae. Common names include greater angle-wing katydid, broad-winged katydid, and angular-winged katydid. They live across North America in trees and shrubs. Adults reach 50–65 millimetres (2.0–2.6 in) in length and are rhombus-shaped. Their green coloration mimics leaves. Adults are active in late summer and autumn and have a "ticking" call.
Scudderia curvicauda is a species in the family Tettigoniidae ("katydids"), in the order Orthoptera. A common name for Scudderia curvicauda is "curve-tailed bush katydid". Scudderia curvicauda is found in North America.
Scudderia furcata is a species in the family Tettigoniidae ("katydids"), in the order Orthoptera. A common name for Scudderia furcata is fork-tailed bush katydid. The distribution range of Scudderia furcata includes Middle America and North America.
Scudderia pistillata is a species in the family Tettigoniidae ("katydids"), in the order Orthoptera. A common name for Scudderia pistillata is "broad-winged bush katydid". Scudderia pistillata is found in North America.
Stilpnochlora couloniana is a species of phaneropterine katydid in the family Tettigoniidae, native to southeastern United States, the Bahamas and Cuba. It is known as the giant katydid and it is the largest katydid in the United States, with an average length of 6.6 cm (2.6 in) in adult males and 7.8 cm (3.1 in) in adult females. Individuals from Cuba tend to grow 5–10% larger than those from the United States. They are sometimes kept as pets.
Pterophylla camellifolia, the common true katydid, is a common North American insect in the family Tettigoniidae (katydids). Within the Tettigoniidae, it belongs to the subfamily Pseudophyllinae. Other common names include northern true katydid and rough-winged katydid.
Amblycorypha is a North American genus of round-headed katydids in the family Tettigoniidae. There are about 14 described species in Amblycorypha.
Dichopetala brevihastata, the common short-wing katydid, is a species of phaneropterine katydid in the family Tettigoniidae. It is found in North America.
Caedicia simplex is a species of bush cricket or katydid, native to New Zealand and Australia. A common name is the "common garden katydid".
Erechthis levyi, the blue-faced katydid or Eleuthera rhino katydid, is a katydid found in The Bahamas. Currently, it is described from specimens collected only on the island of Eleuthera. They are light brown in color throughout the body, but exhibit a bright turquoise-blue face and bear a prominent spine on the vertex of the head between the eyes, hence the common names. It is tentatively considered an endemic species to The Bahamas, as no specimens are recorded from Cuba or Hispaniola, where other Erechthis species occur. The species was named in honor of Leon Levy, a prominent Wall Street financier and philanthropist who spent much time on Eleuthera and was an avid admirer of the island's flora and natural beauty.
