| Loxoblemmus equestris | May 14, 2026 | Purulia, Natore, Bangladesh |
Name and Family: This is basically a type of flat-headed cricket. In zoology, its scientific name is Loxoblemmus equestris. It is a species belonging to the Gryllidae family.
Native and Habitat: From the app information and map, I saw that the native habitat of these insects is in our Asian continent! They are found in abundance in forests, orchards, and damp soil from Bangladesh, India to China and Japan.
Food and Reproduction:
They usually survive by eating rotten leaves, small grasses, roots, and organic matter. Female insects dig holes in soft soil and lay eggs, and this is how their life cycle progresses.
Beneficial and harmful aspects:
Disadvantages: They often cause some damage to farmers by cutting the roots or leaves of young seedlings in the garden.
Benefits: Their beneficial aspects are quite great. Because they burrow in the ground, they naturally help to soften and fertilize the soil. Most importantly, as the main food for animals like birds, frogs, and lizards, they play a huge role in maintaining the balance of our natural food chain or ecosystem.
I hope you enjoy it.
I learned about them from various sites including iNaturalist, Wikipedia and Google.
