  Discover Life - Grylloblattodea
The name Grylloblattodea, derived from the Greek "gryll" meaning cricket and "blatta" meaning cockroach, refers to the blend of cricket-like and roach-like traits found in these insects.
Found in caves or near ice or snow at high elevations in mountains of Asia and North America.
Although some researchers consider grylloblattids to be related to the Protorthoptera complex dating back to the Carboniferous.

The phylogeny of Grylloblattodea: Preliminary molecular and morphological evidence
Brigham Young University, Department of Integrative Biology, 401 Widstoe Building, Provo, UT Since Grylloblattodea was first described in 1914 (Walker), no formal phylogenetic analysis has ever been performed on ice crawlers.
Cavernicolous and non-cavernicolous taxa were mapped on this topology to gain insights into the evolution of cave-dwelling behavior in ice bugs.

Adults live for at least 1 year and females lay when they are about a year old.
As the name Grylloblattodea implies, rock crawlers have a blend of physical characteristics from both crickets (gryllo-) and cockroaches (blatta-).
There are only 25 known species worldwide, making them the second smallest order of insects (Mantophasmatodea is the smallest).

 Grylloblattodea
Rock crawlers are a small and obscure group of insects found only at high elevations in the mountains of China, Siberia, Japan, and western United States and Canada.
Rock crawlers were first discovered around 1906; the first formal description of the order was published in 1915.
With only 25 species described worldwide, Grylloblattodea is the second smallest order of insects.

 Mantophasmatodea Insect Fossils Gallery - Gladiator
The order was initially described from live specimens found in Namibia (Mantophasma zephyra and M. subsolana) and from a 45-million-year-old specimen of Baltic amber like the one shown below.
The Mantophasmatodea's relation to other insects is uncertain, but current conjecture is that it is most closely related to Phasmida (stick insects) and the Grylloblattodea.
However, it differs from a Phasmida in that its first body segment is the largest.

 Gladiators: A New Order of Insect -- [ ZOOLOGY ]: Scientific American
Carl Linnaeus must have had such a feeling 250 years ago as he was sorting recently discovered plants and animals into the taxonomy he had invented.
So probably did E. Walker, who in 1914 was the first to describe rock crawlers (Grylloblattodea), bringing the number of orders in the insect class to 30.
Most entomologists thought that was the final total: although there may be millions of insect species still to identify (about 1.2 million have been named so far), for nearly a century we have assumed that every newfound species will fall into just those 30 basic categories.

A Primitive Earwig in Cretaceous Amber From Myanmar (Dermaptera: Pygidicranidae)
THE EARWIGS comprise an order (Dermaptera) of polyneopterous insects allied to the Dictyoptera and Grylloblattodea (Giles, 1963; Hennig, 1969; Boudreaux, 1979).
However, revised morphological and paleontological evidence may suggest that Dermaptera are basal within Anartioptera-a clade consisting of Plecopterida, Orthopterida, Grylloblattodea, and Mantophasmatodea, as well as the earwigs (e.g., Engel and Grimaldi, 2004).

 Grylloblattid Insect Fossil
While Liaoning Province, home of the fabulous “feathered dinosaurs” is best known., Inner Mongolia has also been a source for many specimens as well.
This is an exquisitely-preserved example of a most uncommon order, the Grylloblattodea.
The extant examples are wingless insects confined to cold regions of the Northern Hemisphere commonly known as “Ice Crawlers” which are thought to be basal members of the Orthopterida, and had been termed “living fossils” by their describer.

Sequence data were collected for thirty-two earwig exemplar taxa representing eight families in two suborders: Hemimeridae (suborder Hemimerina); Pygidicranidae, Anisolabididae, Labiduridae, Apachyidae, Spongiphoridae, Chelisochidae and Forficulidae (suborder Forficulina).
Eighteen taxa from ten additional orders were also included, representing Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Orthoptera, Phasmida, Embiidina, Mantodea, Isoptera, Blattaria, Grylloblattodea and Zoraptera.
These data were analysed via direct optimization inpoyunder a range of gap and substitution values to test the sensitivity of the data to variations in parameter values.

Description The Northern Rock Crawler is a member of the ice insect family (Order Grylloblattodea).
These small wingless insects were once called "living fossils." Because they slightly resemble crickets (gryllids) and cockroaches (blattids), their scientific name is a composite taken from the order names of both insects.
