Pareremus sp Cricket (za) (1/4)

Orthoptera: Grillacrididae

Pareremus sp  

Possibly a Pareremus species cricket, normally nocturnal, this little fellow was dislodged from its hiding place as we were packing up our camp.

Pareremus species crickets are wingless and live in burrows in the dry inland. A similar, but not identical, species is illustrated in A Field Guide to Insects in Australia*.
