Brachytrupes Megacephalus
''Brachytrupes megacephalus'' is a species of cricket in the family Gryllidae. Description and behavior ''Brachytrupes megacephalus'' can reach a length of about . This species is characterized by a very large head (hence the species name ''megacephalus'') and strong jaws. The tibia of the front and rear legs are armed with big teeth which facilitate the action of digging the deep holes in sandy soils in which these crickets live. These insects have crepuscular and nocturnal habits. The mating period extends from mid-March to the end of April. After mating, the males keep the females captive in their holes until they lay their eggs. Distribution and habitat This species can be found in sandy environments in Sardinia, Sicily, Malta and North Africa North Africa, or Northern Africa is a region encompassing the northern portion of the African continent. There is no singularly accepted scope for the region, and it is sometimes defined as stretching from the Atlantic shores of ...

Jean Guillaume Audinet-Serville
Jean Guillaume Audinet-Serville (; his name, before the French Revolution, Revolution, included a Nobiliary particle, particle: Audinet de Serville) was a French entomologist, born on 11 November 1775 in Paris. He died on 27 March 1858 in La Ferté-sous-Jouarre. He was introduced to entomology by Madame de Grostête-Tigny who was fascinated, like her husband, by chemistry and insects. Through her, Audinet-Serville met Pierre André Latreille (1762–1833). Latreille worked with him on the ''Dictionnaire des Insectes de l’Encyclopédie méthodique'' ("The Methodical Encyclopedia Dictionary of Insects"). Then, working with Guillaume-Antoine Olivier (1756–1814), he finished the book ''Faune française'' ("French Fauna") in 1830. Audinet-Serville is particularly known for his work on the Orthoptera. He published, ''Revue méthodique de l’ordre des Orthoptères'' ("Methodical Review of the Order of Orthoptera") which appeared in ''Annales des sciences naturelles'' in 1831. Then, ...

Cricket (insect)
Crickets are orthopteran insects which are related to bush crickets, and, more distantly, to grasshoppers. In older literature, such as Imms,Imms AD, rev. Richards OW & Davies RG (1970) ''A General Textbook of Entomology'' 9th Ed. Methuen 886 pp. "crickets" were placed at the family level (''i.e.'' Gryllidae), but contemporary authorities including Otte now place them in the superfamily Grylloidea. The word has been used in combination to describe more distantly related taxa in the suborder Ensifera, such as king crickets and mole crickets. Crickets have mainly cylindrically-shaped bodies, round heads, and long antennae. Behind the head is a smooth, robust pronotum. The abdomen ends in a pair of long cerci; females have a long, cylindrical ovipositor. Diagnostic features include legs with 3-segmented tarsi; as with many Orthoptera, the hind legs have enlarged femora, providing power for jumping. The front wings are adapted as tough, leathery elytra, and some crickets ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gryllidae
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 (''e.g.'' ImmsImms AD, rev. Richards OW & Davies RG (1970) ''A General Textbook of Entomology'' 9th Ed. Methuen 886 pp.): 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 Walker. They have a worldwide distribution (except Antarctica). The largest members of the family are the -long bull crickets (''Brachytrupes'') which excavate burrows a metre or more deep. The tree crickets (Oecanthinae) are delicate white or pale green insects with transparent fore wings, while the field crickets (Gryllinae) are robust brown or black insects. Subfamilies The family is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Brachytrupes Membranaceus
''Brachytrupes membranaceus'', the tobacco cricket, is a species of cricket in the family Gryllidae. It is a pest of crops including young tobacco plants. There are four subspecies, all of which are native to Africa. Subspecies Four subspecies are recognised : *''B. m. colosseus'' Saussure, 1899 – Madagascar *''B. m. hoggarensis'' Chopard, 1941 – Algeria *''B. m. mauritanicus'' Chopard, 1952 – Mauritania *''B. m. membranaceus'' (Drury, 1770) – Kenya, Tanzania and other countries in East Africa Description The adult ''B. membranaceus'' has a plump brown body, a broad blunt head, long antennae and powerful legs. It has a head-and-body length of . Biology ''Brachytrupes membranaceus'' is nocturnal. It digs a burrow that may be deep, with chambers in which it stores food. The burrow is dug by the mandibles, and the fore-legs are used to move loose soil and push it out of the entrance. An adult cricket may form a mound up to in height beside the burrow entrance.
