The male of this insect is good at fighting. Our people like to watch it fight since ancient times, so it is also called "cricket fighting" and "general". It is not only aggressive, but also good at jumping and singing, so it has become a popular ornamental insect in past dynasties. This insect is brown all over and has long antennae. Big hind feet, good at jumping. Male worms are 20 ~ 25mm long and have two tails, commonly known as "two tails". The female has four tails, two long and two short, with an ovipositor in the middle. Crickets have dark reflective heads with orange longitudinal stripes on their heads. The forelimbs of males reach the ventral end, most individuals have no hind wings, and a few males have hind wings and can fly. The male sound mirror is slightly rectangular and loud. The syllables are symmetrical and slightly pronounced. When pronouncing, the two front wings stand upright and make a "squeak" sound due to friction, which can be used for continuous singing. This insect not only makes pleasant sounds, but also has aggressive habits, so it is considered as the most valuable ornamental insect. Crickets that win many battles can often be fired to a high value.
