	Orthoptera
		The name Orthoptera, derived from the Greek "ortho" meaning straight and "ptera" meaning wing, refers to the parallel-sided structure of the front wings (tegmina).
		Orthoptera probably arose during the middle of the Carboniferous period.
		Orthoptera is generally regarded as a dominant group in most terrestrial habitats.

		Throughout the orthoptera, there is a tendency by one authority to elevate some subfamilies to families, and by other authorities to demote families to subfamilies.
		Orthoptera is from Greek orthos, straight and Greek pteron wing.
		(1) This is apparently the primitive (original) behavior in orthoptera.

	Insect Orders
		Orthoptera generally have two pairs of wings with many veins and range in size from 1/4 inch to 2 inches long.
		The front pair is usually slender and the hind pair is broad and fan-like.
		Nearly all Orthoptera in Texas are plant feeders.

	Gordon's Orthoptera Page
		The Orthoptera are a group of large and easily recognised insects which includes the Grasshoppers, Locusts, Groundhoppers, Crickets, Bush-crickets (called Katydids in America), Mole-crickets and Camel-crickets as well as some lesser groups.
		Though most of the Orthoptera will eat vegetable matter of some sort only Grasshoppers, Groundhoppers and a few rare Bush-crickets are are predominantly herbivorous (eat only plant material) most of the rest are omnivorous (eating both plants and animals) eating whatever comes there way.
		The Orthoptera are renowned for the songs and in some Eastern countries males (females generally do not sing)are kept in small cages specifically so that the keepers can enjoy their song.

	Singing Orthoptera in Japanese Culture, Cultural Entomology Digest 3
		The Japanese have a long tradition of enjoying the calls of various Orthoptera, both in the wild and as caged pets (Lafcadio Hern, 1905, Exotics and Retrospectives, Little, Brown and Co., Boston).
		These terrariums are sold to keep and rear a few species of singing Orthoptera (mainly the bell insect, Homoeogryllus japonicus de Haan), which are also sold along with specially packaged bell insect food and soil in pet shops.
		Recordings of singing Orthoptera are sold in record stores, and can be heard in subway stations and other public places.

		There has been, on the other hand, no good evidence that the primary sensory nerves can or must convey cues as to the pitch of a sound stimulus and there has been no good evidence that the central nervous system responds differentially to one pitch rather than another, irrespective of intensity.

		Insect Order Orthoptera that includes grasshoppers, crickets anf locusts first appeared during the middle of the Carboniferous period, well over 300 million years ago.
		The sound is produced by stridulation -- rubbing the upper surface of one wing against the lower surface of another wing, or the inner surface of the hind leg against the outer surface of the front wing.
