Eneoptera surinamensis is a species of cricket from the genus Eneoptera.[1][2][3] The species was originally described by Charles De Geer in 1773 [4]
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.
Ecology[edit]
Because of the species feeding on leaves, flowers and fruits of living plants, they occasionally damage plants of value to humans.[2]
