The Orthoptera Species File is a taxonomic database of the world's Orthoptera (grasshoppers, katydids, crickets, and related insects), both living and fossil. It has full taxonomic and synonymic information for more than 29,530 valid species, 48,410 scientific names, 240,600 citations to 16,000 references, 110,300 images, 2050 sound recordings, and 110,500 specimen records.

To see information contained in the database, use the links across the top of the page.  Click on Search to find a specific taxon or other kinds of information.  Clicking on Taxa will make the order Orthoptera your current taxon unless you have previously moved to a different taxon in this session.
