Siliquofera is a genus of bush cricket in the subfamily Phyllophorinae that includes only one species, Siliquofera grandis,[2] which is fairly common and widespread in rainforest canopies of New Guinea and nearby smaller islands, and seemingly rare (possibly overlooked) in Australia where only found in the remote Iron Range region.

They hatch into nymphs after a couple of months, which resemble the adults, but are smaller and wingless (giving them a more stubby appearance).

Being relatively large and originating from tropical rainforests, they have specialised requirements, but have proven relatively easy to maintain in captivity, feeding primarily on leaves from a wide range of plants such as bramble, roses, oak, fig and dandelions, but also vegetables and fruits such as lettuce, apples, carrots and cucumbers.

[8][9][12] As typical of the subfamily Phyllophorinae but unlike most other bush crickets, S. grandis have a stridulation apparatus in the coxosternum, not in the tegmen.

S. grandis is able to produce a relatively loud sound with its stridulation apparatus and by rapidly vibrating its wings.
