Miogryllus convolutus

Miogryllus convolutus is a species of cricket from South America.

Most strikingly, there are micropterous (small-winged) and macropterous (large-winged) forms, but there is also variation in colouration.

[1] M. convolutus has one of the widest geographical distributions of any member of the family Gryllidae in the Americas.

[1] It is found in both South and North America,[2] having been recorded from Mexico, Belize, Panama, Costa Rica, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Paraguay and Argentina.

[1] M. convolutus was first described (under the name Gryllus convolutus) in Carl Linnaeus' 1763 work Centuria Insectorum, although authorship is often ascribed to Boas Johansson, whose dissertation that work formed.
