Acinonyx is a genus within the cat family. The only living species of this genus, the cheetah A. jubatus lives in open grasslands of Africa and Asia.
The Acrididae are the predominant family of grasshoppers, comprising some 10,000 of the 11,000 species of the entire suborder Caelifera. The Acrididae are best known because all locusts are of the Acrididae. The subfamily Oedipodinae is sometimes classified as a distinct family Oedipodidae in the superfamily Acridoidea. Acrididae grasshoppers are characterized by relatively short and stout antennae, and tympana on the side of the first abdominal segment.
Acartophthalmus is a genus of flies, and the only genus with confident placement in the family Acartophthalmidae. They are 1.0–2.5 millimetres (0.04–0.10 in) long, and grey or black in colour, with pubescent arista. Only five species are included.
Forficula pubescens is a species of earwig.
Gomphocerinae, the slant-faced grasshoppers, are a subfamily of grasshoppers found on every continent but Antarctica and Australia.
Conocephalus fuscus, the long-winged conehead, is a member of the family Tettigoniidae, the bush-crickets and katydids. This bush-cricket is native to the British Isles where it may confused with the short-winged conehead. These two species are phenotypically similar; however, the distinguishing factor between the two is the fully developed set of wings the long-winged conehead possesses that allows for flight. In the short-winged coneheads the hind wings are shorter than the abdomen, causing the wings to be vestigial and the species is incapable of flight. For this reason it is hard to discriminate between the two species during the early stages of their life cycle before the wings have fully developed. The colouration of the conehead is typically a grass green with a distinctive brown stripe down its back, though there are some brown phenotypes.
Chorthippus albomarginatus, the lesser marsh grasshopper, is a common grasshopper of European grassland both damp-marshy and dry, including salt-marsh and coastal habitats.

Barbitistes obtusus, common name Southern Saw-tailed Bush-cricket or Alpine Saw Bush-cricket, is a species of katydids crickets in family Phaneropteridae subfamily Phaneropterinae.
Calephorus compressicornis is a species of grasshopper in the tribe Calephorini found in Europe and Africa.
Omocestus is a genus of 'short-horned grasshoppers' belonging to the family Acrididae subfamily Gomphocerinae.
Myrmeleotettix is a genus of grasshopper in the tribe Gomphocerini. Species are recorded from western Europe and throughout temperate Asia.
Chorthippus dorsatus is a species belonging to the family Acrididae, subfamily Gomphocerinae. It is found across the Palearctic. The species lives in Central Europe usually at altitudes 500–800 meters, in Switzerland it rises to 1800, in Bulgaria also over 2200 meters. Humid to moist meadows are preferred, especially around moors, but the species is also found on moderately dry meadows. Heavily agricultural or fertilized meadows are avoided.
Gomphocerus is a genus of grasshoppers in the tribe Gomphocerini. Species can be found in Europe and Asia, with one species in South America.
Euryparyphes is a genus of grasshoppers in the family Pamphagidae. There are about 17 described species in Euryparyphes, found in southern Europe and North Africa.
