Raspy Cricket: Hadrogryllacris magnifica
Australia hosts a great diversity of Raspy Crickets. When threatened, they make a raspy, squeaky sound, and winged adults are known to open their wings and raise their front legs in a defensive posture. Raspy crickets can produce silk, similar to that of the silkworm, used to stitch leaves into a shelter, or line burrows made in sand or soil. Foraging at night, they feed on plants and animals. Raspy Crickets belong to the Family Gryllacrididae.
