cricket

Description:

Crickets, family Gryllidae (also known as "true crickets"), are insects somewhat related to grasshoppers, and more closely related to katydids or bush crickets (family Tettigoniidae). They have somewhat flattened bodies and long antennae. There are about 900 species of crickets. They tend to be nocturnal[1] and are often confused with grasshoppers because they have a similar body structure including jumping hind legs.

Habitat:

Spotted on low vegetation along a transect in secondary coastal lowland mixed freshwater swamp forest/sago swamp forest.
