Panoploscelis
''Panoploscelis'' (commonly referred to as spiny lobster katydids or giant lobster crickets) is a genus of very large insects belonging to the Pseudophyllinae, true katydid tribe (biology), tribe Eucocconotini, which is a Family (biology), subfamily of the Tettigoniidae, katydids. Like the other members of the suborder Ensifera, ''Panoploscelis'' are part of the insect order (biology), order Orthoptera, which also contains cricket (insect), crickets, grasshoppers and locusts. Members of this genus are among the largest katydids of the Neotropical realm, Neotropics. These Terrestrial animal, terrestrial, predation, predatory insects are endemism, endemic to the remote and relatively inaccessible tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, neotropical rainforests of Central America, Central and South America. Little is known about this genus, because data thus far have been collected from a very limited number of specimens. The first specimen, a female of the species ''Panoplo ...

Pseudophyllinae
The subfamily Pseudophyllinae contains numerous species in the family Tettigoniidae, the katydids or bush crickets. Sometimes called "true katydids", together with the crickets of suborder Ensifera, they form part of the insect order Orthoptera which also contains grasshoppers. Members of the group are noted for their remarkable camouflage. They closely resemble dried leaves, including veins, various blotches and even bite marks. Systematics The Pseudophyllinae may be subdivided into the following tribes (the first 17 of which are sometimes grouped into the super-tribes: Pleminiiti and Pseudophylliti) and genera.

Charles Leonard Hogue
Charles Leonard Hogue (1935 - 1992) was an American entomologist. Hogue was Senior Curator at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and taught at the University of California, Los Angeles. He wrote numerous popular and technical papers, mainly on Diptera, as well as several general books on insects. He died in 1992. Charles Hogue was the founder of a new discipline he called ″Cultural entomology Human interactions with insects include both a wide variety of uses, whether practical such as for food, textiles, and dyestuffs, or symbolic, as in art, music, and literature, and negative interactions including serious damage to crops and exten ...″ concerning the influence of insects on human culture in the areas literature, language, music, the arts, interpretive history, religion, and recreation.

Terrestrial Animal
Terrestrial animals are animals that live predominantly or entirely on land (e.g. cats, dogs, ants, spiders), as compared with aquatic animals, which live predominantly or entirely in the water (e.g. fish, lobsters, octopuses), and amphibians, which rely on a combination of aquatic and terrestrial habitats (e.g. frogs and newts). Some groups of insects are terrestrial, such as ants, butterflies, earwigs, cockroaches, grasshoppers and many others, while other groups are partially aquatic, such as mosquitoes and dragonflies, which pass their larval stages in water. Terrestrial animals tend to be more developed and intelligent than aquatic animals. Terrestrial classes The term "terrestrial" is typically applied to species that live primarily on the ground, in contrast to arboreal species, which live primarily in trees. There are other less common terms that apply to specific groups of terrestrial animals: *Saxicolous creatures are rock dwelling. "Saxicolous" is derived from t ...
