The Oecanthidae are a recently (2022) restored family of crickets based on the type genus Oecanthus Serville, 1831. They include “tree crickets”, “anomalous crickets” and “bush crickets” (American usage) and can be found in warmer parts of most of the world (not the northern Palaearctic, Nearctic or Antarctica).

Large in size, with a body length of 50–75 mm (to the wing tips). The body is brown or green. The top of the head, both sides of the pronotum, and the folded areas of the forewings are yellowish-brown.

The Machaerotidae (Hemiptera: Cercopoidea) comprise a small, distinct and interesting group of insects mainly inhabiting the Old World tropics.

They are famous for their aposematic (warning) coloration, which signals to potential predators that they are dangerous or unpalatable. The body is predominantly jet black, providing a stark contrast. The legs, antennae, and the edges of the connexivum (the exposed abdominal segments) are vividly marked with bright orange or red. The forewings (hemelytra) are black with a distinctive large, central red-orange spot or blotch.

a genus of common barklice in the family Psocidae. There are at least 20 described species in Cerastipsocus
