ABOUT
About Round-spot Raspy Cricket
An arboreal raspy cricket found on Takara Island, Amami Oshima, and Kakeroma Island. Its antennae are far longer than its body. By day it hides in a nest of leaves bound together with its own silk, emerging at night to be active. Strongly carnivorous, it preys on other insects. It is very wary and difficult to spot.
