Two-spotted Tree Cricket (Nymph)

Deciduous trees and shrubs, often found in leafy foliage or on branches in woodland edges and suburban gardens.

Omnivorous; they consume plant matter such as leaves and fruit, as well as small insects like aphids and scale insects.

Mainly nocturnal. Males are known for their musical trilling songs produced by rubbing their wings together to attract mates. Nymphs, like the one pictured, resemble adults but lack functional wings.

Generally harmless to humans. They provide ecological benefits by preying on garden pests like aphids, though they may cause minor aesthetic damage to plants when laying eggs in stems.
