Lesser Anglewing

Microcentrum retinerve

The Lesser Anglewing is a small, green cricket that loves to hide among leaves. They make a soft chirping sound at night, which is their way of singing to each other.

Lebensraum: Forests

Aussehen

The Lesser Anglewing has broad, flattened, green wings that are angled and textured to perfectly mimic a leaf. Its long, slender antennae are much longer than its body, which is typically pale green or greenish-brown. This superb natural disguise makes it very hard to spot among foliage.
