About Ornebius bimaculatus
Ornebius bimaculatus is a small scaly cricket.
Natural history and identification
Ornebius bimaculatus is a small scaly cricket. The Kyoto prefectural account describes a pale brown body and a dark patch along the rear edge of the male forewing; leg markings also help distinguish it from related Japanese species. In Japan it occupies warm coastal scrub and rocky places. Those observations provide useful identification and habitat context, but do not establish a Kauaʻi habitat preference. The island checklist records it as introduced.
