The Orthoptera insects are easily seen from everywhere. Most of the Orthoptera and the grasshoppers are found in grasslands and forests. Scaley crickets are found on sea shores. Camel crickets are found in caves. Schistocerca gregaria (desert locust) is found from desert. Mole crickets are found in under ground. Ant crickets are found from ant’ nests. Turks groundhoppers live only on alpine stream gravel banks. Some species live under the water. Most Orthoptera are herbivorous (eating vegetable), but some of are omnivorous (eating animal and vegetable). Oak bush crickets, green grasshoppers, and mole crickets are carnivores (eating animal).
