Cricket song is a sound of the Australian bush. Even in cities, the rasping calls signify Australia’s remarkable cricket biodiversity. Crickets are notable for a variety of reasons. When their population booms, some of these species become agricultural pests and destroy crop pastures. Some introduced species are of biosecurity concern. Other crickets are important food sources for native birds, reptiles and mammals, as well as domestic pets. Soon you might even put them in your cake or stir-fry, as there is a rapidly growing industry for cricket products for human consumption. Featuring keys, distribution maps, illustrations and detailed colour photographs from CSIRO’s Australian National Insect Collection, A Guide to Crickets of Australia allows readers to reliably identify all 92 described genera and many species from the Grylloidea (true crickets) and Gryllotalpoidea (mole crickets and ant crickets) superfamilies. Not included are the Raspy Crickets (Gryllacrididae), King Crickets (Anostostomatidae) or the so-called ‘Pygmy Mole Crickets’ (Caelifera), which despite their common names are not related to true crickets. Natural history enthusiasts and professionals will find this an essential guide.

Orthoptera is one of the most important and interesting Orders of the Class Insecta. They include grasshoppers and crickets that have a fundamental role in many terrestrial ecosystems. In this complete and updated publication all the 382 taxa (species and subspecies) of Orthoptera nowadays known from Italy are treated; 162 of these are endemic! Unfortunately, as well as for other groups of organisms, also orthopterans have many species suffering from maximum degree of threat, according to the Red List of Threatened Species compiled by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Therefore, Grasshoppers & Crickets of Italy is very important also from a conservation point of view; it allows to recognize the endangered species for planning interventions to safeguard them. This new volume is an absolutely innovative tool in the field of nature handbooks. The authors have succeeded in realizing a text with a new and appealing graphic design, easy to consult, full of photos of morphological details useful to identify the species also by non-experts. Furthermore, very useful for the field work are the maps of the distribution areas, detailed at provincial level, for each species. This book will be useful not only for orthopterists, but also for young entomologists who will be able to measure their ability in identifying species, for agricultural technicians and for all nature and entomology lovers. Gli Ortotteri sono uno degli ordini più importanti e interessanti della grande classe degli insetti. Essi comprendono grilli e cavallette, che rivestono un ruolo fondamentale negli ecosistemi terrestri. In questa pubblicazione completa e aggiornata sono trattati tutti i 382 taxa (specie e sottospecie) di Ortotteri conosciuti oggi in Italia; di questi ben 162 risultano endemici, cioè esclusivi del nostro Paese! Purtroppo, come per altri gruppi di organismi, anche tra gli Ortotteri figurano specie al massimo grado di minaccia, secondo la lista rossa stilata dall’IUCN. Grasshoppers & Crickets of Italy è utile, quindi, anche dal punto di vista conservazionistico, per conoscere le specie in pericolo e attuare interventi in grado di garantirne la tutela. Questa nuova guida è uno strumento assolutamente innovativo nel campo dei manuali naturalistici di campagna. Si tratta di un volume con una veste grafica moderna e accattivante, di facile consultazione, ricchissimo di immagini di particolari morfologici utili all’identificazione delle specie anche da parte di non esperti. Utilissime, per il lavoro sul campo, anche le mappe degli areali di distribuzione, dettagliate a livello di singola provincia. Una guida utile, non solo agli ortotterologi, ma anche ai giovani entomologi che vorranno misurarsi con la loro capacità di identificare le specie, ai tecnici agricoli e a tutti gli amanti della natura e dell’entomologia.
