Elementary entomology ([c1912]) Elementary entomology elementaryentomo00sand Year: [c1912] ORTHOPTERA bushes and shrubs. The eggs are laid along the edge of a leaf or along a stem, slightly shingled, as shown in Fig. 105, being quite different from those of any similar in- sects and thus easily recogniz- able. In this fam- ily there are two groups of win Hess forms: FIG. 106. The western cricket (Anabms simplex], adult female. (Natural size) the cricketlike grasshoppers, (After Gillette) which are to be found under stones and rub- bish, particularly in woodlands, and the shield-backed grasshoppers, which look very much like crickets. One of them, known as the western cricket (Anabrtis), which is about one and one half inches long, often becomes so abundant in the northwest- ern states as to be \ cry de- structive to crops. The crickets (Gryllidae). The common black or brownish crickets, with their familiar chirp, are well known to every one. The wings are laid flat on the back when at rest, instead of meeting like a roof as in the grasshoppers, the an- tennae are long, and the ovipositor is long, but cylindrical in section, being lance-shaped rather than sword-shaped as in the grasshoppers. Our common crickets usually feed upon vegetation, and very rarely become inju- rious, though some are predacious and at times are uncompromising
