Grey Bush-cricket

Platycleis albopunctata

The Grey Bush-cricket is a small insect that loves to hide in grass and bushes. They make a chirping sound, especially during warm summer nights, which is their way of singing to each other.

生息地: Grasslands

外見

The Grey Bush-cricket has a slender body, mottled grey-brown with tiny black spots, helping it blend perfectly with bark and dried leaves. It has extremely long, thin antennae, often longer than its body, and large eyes. Unlike many crickets, its wings are often shorter than its abdomen.
