Orthoptera

Orthoptera – Dal greco antico ὀρθός, orthós, dritto, e πτερόν, pterón, ala. Gli Ortotteri (Orthoptera Latreille, 1793) sono un Ordine di insetti terrestri, raramente subacquatici. Sono insetti di piccole, medie o anche grandi dimensioni. Comprendono specie alate, meiottere o anche attere.

Orthoptera – From ancient Greek ὀρθός, orthós, straight, and πτερόν, pterón, wing. Orthoptera is an order of insects with paurometabolous or incomplete metamorphosis, including the grasshoppers, crickets, cave crickets, Jerusalem crickets, katydids, weta, lubber, Acrida, and locusts.
