Orthoptera The Orthoptera include such familiar insects as crickets, grasshoppers, locusts, and katydids, and count among their ranks some of the most accomplised singers among the insects. Many orthopterans produce sound- usually for courtship- with a variety of organs on their legs and wings. These insects tend to be large and attractive, and most species have strong hind legs for jumping. Click on thumbnails to enlarge. Images will open in a new browser window.
