Aemodogryllinae Explained

The Orthopteran subfamily Aemodogryllinae^[1] contains about sixteen genera of camel crickets. It was named after Aemodogryllus Adelung, 1902 - which is now considered a subgenus of Diestrammena.

Species can be found in Europe and Asia (Korea, Indo-China, Russia, China), although the greenhouse camel cricket is cosmopolitan and could be described as an invasive species.
