The
Orthoptera order of
insects includes the
grasshoppers,
crickets,
cave crickets,
Jerusalem crickets,
katydids,
weta,
lubber,
Acrida, and
locusts. Many insects in this order have paurometabolous or
incomplete metamorphosis, and produce
sound (known as a "
stridulation") by rubbing their wings against each other or their legs, the wings or legs containing rows of corrugated bumps. The tympanum or
ear is located in the front tibia in crickets, mole crickets, and
katydids, and on the first abdominal segment in the
grasshoppers and
locusts. These organisms use vibrations to locate other individuals.
