Description

[edit]

Eneoptera surinamensis is a tropical forest cricket, which lives in open areas of rain forest[3] Like its fellow members of the subfamily Eneopterinae, E. surinamensis eat leaves, flowers and fruits of living plants.[2] They deposit their eggs in pith, bark, or soft wood of plant stems.

Call of the Eneoptera surinamensis.

Ecology

[edit]

Because of the species feeding on leaves, flowers and fruits of living plants, they occasionally damage plants of value to humans.[2]
