Nemobiinae is a subfamily of the newly constituted Trigonidiidae,[1] one of the cricket families. The type genus is Nemobius, which includes the wood cricket,[2] but members of this subfamily may also be known as "ground crickets" or "pygmy field crickets".

Characteristics

Ground crickets are small insects, generally less than 15 mm (0.6 in) long, and less robust than crickets in the subfamily Gryllinae. The thorax is densely bristled and the abdomen is also bristly. There are four (or sometimes three) pairs of long, movable spines above the tip of the abdomen. The ovipositor varies from being long, straight and needle-like, to short, curved and sabre-like.[3] These crickets have wings of variable lengths and are generally brown, a suitable colour for concealment among the leaf litter and plant bases where they live. They are often active during the day and can be quite common in woodland and pastureland. They are omnivores. There are about two hundred species worldwide.[4]

gollark: It's quite interesting. Basically, the cross origin model allows other sites to send arbitrary POST/GET requests with some constraints on headers with access to browser cookies and such, but not see the response.
gollark: Header compression is actually supported in some stuff but disabled due to security issues due to the awful cross origin model.
