Gryllidae

Gryllus veletis is commonly known as the spring field cricket. This solitary, aggressive, omnivorous, burrow-inhabiting species is the most widespread field cricket in North America. It is commonly confused with Gryllus pennsylvanicus (the fall field cricket), over much of the continent, but can be distinguished through examination of life history, ovipositor and behavioural differences.
