Gryllus (cognomen)
''Gryllus'' is a genus of field cricket (Orthoptera, Gryllidae, Gryllinae). Members of the genus are typically 15–31 mm long and darkly coloured. The type species is ''Gryllus campestris'' L.: the European field cricket. History Until the mid-1950s, native field crickets in eastern North America were all assigned to a single species, ''Acheta assimilis''.

Gryllus Campestris
''Gryllus campestris'', the European field cricket or simply the field cricket in the British Isles, is the type species of crickets in its genus and tribe Gryllini. These flightless dark colored insects are comparatively large; the males range from 19 to 23 mm and the females from 17 to 22 mm. Habitat ''Gryllus campestris'' used to be common over most of Western Europe. It prefers dry, sunny locations with short vegetation, like dry grasslands. At the northern edge of its range, it is restricted to heathlands and oligotrophic grasslands. The species is flightless and unable to migrate long distances, and it therefore does not commonly recover on its own from local extinction. Reproduction The reproductive season of the univoltine species lasts from May to July. The males make a burrow with a platform at the entrance from which they attract females with their courtship stridulation. They chirp during daytime as well as the first part of the night, only when the te ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gryllus Ater
''Miogryllus convolutus'' is a species of cricket from South America. Description ''M. convolutus'' exists in a number of forms. Most strikingly, there are micropterous (small-winged) and macropterous (large-winged) forms, but there is also variation in colouration. Distribution ''M. convolutus'' has one of the widest geographical distributions of any member of the family Gryllidae in the Americas. It is found in both South and North America, having been recorded from Mexico, Belize, Panama, Costa Rica, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Paraguay and Argentina. Taxonomic history ''M. convolutus'' was first described (under the name ''Gryllus convolutus'') in Carl Linnaeus Carl Linnaeus (; 23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after his ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné Blunt (2004), p. 171.

Gryllus Assimilis
''Gryllus assimilis'', commonly known as the Jamaican field cricket and sometimes referred to as the silent cricket (a misnomer) among other names, is one of many cricket species known as a field cricket. Its natural habitats are the West Indies and parts of the southern United States, Mexico, and South America, though as a result of widespread breeding programs to supply feeder insects to the pet industry since 2010, it has become available commercially throughout North America and Europe. Taxonomy At one time, many field crickets found in the eastern states of the United States were assumed to be a single species and were referred to as ''Gryllus assimilis''. However, in 1932, the entomologist B. B. Fulton showed that four populations of field cricket in North Carolina, that were morphologically identical and which were all considered to be ''G. assimilis'', produced four different songs. It was further observed that though some had overlapping habitats, each population had dif ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
