Armoured Ground Cricket
The Bradyporinae are a subfamily in the family Tettigoniidae (bush crickets or katydids), based on the type genus ''Bradyporus''. First described as a family, "Bradyporidae" , the first use as Bradyporinae was by Carl Brunner von Wattenwyl, Brunner von Wattenwyl in 1878. Genera in this subfamily are mostly distributed in Europe, North Africa, through to temperate/subtropical Asia. Tribes and genera Bradyporini Auth.: Burmeister, 1838; distribution: N.

Uromenus
''Uromenus'' is a genus of bush crickets in the sub-family Bradyporinae and tribe Ephippigerini. Distribution and description Species in this genus are found throughout much of mainland Europe and northern Africa. The type species '' U. rugosicollis'' occurs in Western Europe and was originally placed in the similar genus '' Ephippiger''; it is distinguished from the latter by its pronotum, which has side keels in rear half, forming a distinct angle between top and sides. These insects are also apterous and the female ovipositor The ovipositor is a tube-like organ used by some animals, especially insects, for the laying of eggs. In insects, an ovipositor consists of a maximum of three pairs of appendages. The details and morphology of the ovipositor vary, but typica ...s are up-curved towards tip.

Spermatophore
A spermatophore, from Ancient Greek σπέρμα (''spérma''), meaning "seed", and -φόρος (''-phóros''), meaning "bearing", 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 may additionally contain nourishment for the female, in which case it is called a nuptial gift, as in the instance of bush crickets. In the case of the toxic moth '' Utetheisa ornatrix'', the spermatophore includes sperm, nutrients, and pyrrolizidine alkaloids which prevent predation because it is poisonous to most organisms. However, in some species such as the Edith's checkerspot butterfly, the "gift" provides little nutrient value. The weight of the spermatophore transferred at mating has little effect on female reproductive output. Arthropods Spermatophores are the norm in arachnid Arachnids are arthro ...
