Phylloscyrtini
The Phylloscyrtini tribe is a group of 21 species of small crickets in the New World, from the eastern United States to Argentina. Little is known about their biology. The group is characterized by the long maxillary palpi, flattened and widened in the last segment, as well as the tarsal adhesive pads, used to walk on the underside of leaves. Despite their size (less than 10 mm), the notorious colors make them easily recognizable. They prefer humid and lush habitats, and their reported diet is omnivorous.

Phyllopalpus Pulchellus
''Phyllopalpus pulchellus'', known generally as the red headed bush cricket, handsome trig or handsome bush cricket, is a species of winged bush crickets, trigs in the family Gryllidae. It is found in North America. During courtship, males first provide females a nuptial gift before transferring a larger spermatophore A spermatophore or sperm ampulla is a capsule or mass containing spermatozoa created by males of various animal species, especially salamanders and arthropods, and transferred in entirety to the female's ovipore during reproduction. Spermatophores .... If the female does not accept the nuptial gift (also known as a microspermatophore) the male will eat it.

Ensifera
Ensifera is a suborder of insects that includes the various types of crickets and their allies including: true crickets, camel crickets, bush crickets or katydids, grigs, weta and Cooloola monsters. This and the suborder Caelifera (grasshoppers and their allies) make up the order Orthoptera. Ensifera is believed to be a more ancient group than Caelifera, with its origins in the Carboniferous period, the split having occurred at the end of the Permian period. Unlike the Caelifera, the Ensifera contain numerous members that are partially carnivorous, feeding on other insects, as well as plants. ''Ensifer'' is Latin for "sword bearer", and refers to the typically elongated and blade-like ovipositor of the females. Characteristics Characteristics shared by the two orthopteran suborders, Caelifera and Ensifera, are the mouthparts adapted for biting and chewing, the modified prothorax, the hind legs modified for jumping, the wing shape and venation, and the sound-producing stridu ...
