Most of the 170 species of grasshoppers and crickets included in this book can be identified instantly by their songs - and often more reliably than from their appearance. Orthopterans have recently become important subjects in evolutionary biological studies and are also increasingly used in the field of conservation as indicators of undisturbed habitat.
