''Schizodactylus monstrosus'' or the maize cricket, is a species of large, robust cricket found in Asia, belonging to the family Schizodactylidae.

They are nocturnal and show a high degree of variation in activity during the day and night. They hide in burrows that they dig on their own during the day. Description ''S. monstrosus'' adults are approximately 4 cm long, with the coloration being typical of that of a nocturnal or burrowing insect, an overall light yellow with black sections on the back and a lighter green on the belly. They have long, filiform antennae extending longer than their body, with the scape being white with a black dot and the rest of the antennae brown. The wings of ''S. monstrosus''are longer than the body and spiral up at the ends, over the cerci, when at rest. The labrum is large and covers the ...

Schizodactylus Inexspectatus
''Schizodactylus inexspectatus'' (often misspelled "''inexpectatus''") is a species of dune cricket (Schizodactylidae) endemic to sand dunes of Çukurova and Göksu Deltas, Turkey. Taxonomic history ''Schizodactylus inexspectatus'' was first described by Franz Werner in 1901 under the name ''Comicus inexspectatus''. It was transferred to the genus ''Schizodactylus'' in 1931. The species was known from only a single individual and was not found again for almost a century, with the species generally thought to be extinct, but it was rediscovered in the Çukurova Delta after almost a century. Description and life history Adults reach long, and are yellow in colour, with black patches on the pronotum that resemble a butterfly. The cephalon and thorax representing more of the length than the abdomen. The antennae are long. The adults have short wings, approximately long, but they are incapable of flight.

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 strid ...
