Tanaoceridae
Tetrigidae
Tetrigidae is a in the order Orthoptera, which also includes crickets, grasshoppers, and katydids. Species within the Tetrigidae are variously called grouse locusts, pygmy locusts, groundhoppers or pygmy grasshoppers. There are roughly 1,600 species in about 250 genera altogether. In temperate regions, Tetrigidae are generally found along streams and ponds, where they feed on algae and diatoms . The North American species Paratettix aztecus and Paratettix mexicanus, for example, depend on aquatic primary production for between 80% and 100% of their diet . Riparian species are capable of swimming on the surface of the water, and readily leap into the water when alarmed . Some species in the tribe Scelimenini are fully aquatic and capable of swimming underwater . The highest biodiversity of Tetrigidae is found in tropical forests. Some tropical species are arboreal and live among mosses and lichens in tree buttresses or in the canopy , while others live on the forest floor . [more]
