Gryllacrididae

Gryllacridae Gryllacrididae are a family of non-jumping insects in the suborder Ensifera occurring worldwide, known commonly as leaf-rolling crickets or raspy crickets.

The family historically has been broadly defined to include what are presently several other families, such as Stenopelmatidae ("Jerusalem crickets") and Rhaphidophoridae ("camel crickets"),[1] now considered separate.

As presently defined, the family contains two subfamilies: Gryllacridinae and Hyperbaeninae.

In the daytime, most species rest in shelters made from folded leaves sewn with silk.

Some species use silk to burrow in sand, earth or wood.
