Field Notes

Description:

Those species that make easily heard noises usually do so by rubbing the hind femurs against the fore wings. Females are normally larger than males. Males have a single unpaired plate at the end of the abdomen. Females have two pairs used to dig in sand when egg laying.

Habitat:

Widespread in U.S.

Notes:

Found it at my friend's house on the car then it flew away with the wind.
