The wood cricket Triaenogryllacris triaena is found in Western South America. To blend in with its surroundings, the species has three colour morphs: yellow, green, and (hot) pink. The pink one is definitely my favourite. #EverydayEnsifera #bugsky

Legal desses bichos é que a primeira espécie fóssil desde gênero data de 115 milhões de anos atrás, encontrada no Ceará, na Formação Crato.

Schizodactylus groeningae

Schizodactylus monstrosus uses its strong, spiky legs to create sand dune burrows in the deserts of southern Asia. Although those curled wings look fancy, they're not functional and these guys can't fly. Maybe for the best since they're predatory! #EverydayEnsifera #bugsky

Like other members of the Hyperbaeninae, Dialarnaca zhoui spins silk to create shelters from rolled leaves. What ISN'T common is the species' striking pink and gold colouration! This gorgeous leaf-roller is known only from the Yunnan province in China. #EverydayEnsifera

Field crickets (Gryllinae) aren't just plain brown chirping things in backyards - the group is actually pretty diverse, with >3,000 species. Maybe the weirdest are in the genus Sciobia, which all have these delightful Pikmin-like "hats" 🥺
