Phyllopalpus

The Phylloscyrtini tribe is a group of 21 species of small crickets in the New World, from the eastern United States to Argentina.[1] Little is known about their biology.[2]

The group is characterized by the long maxillary palpi, flattened and widened in the last segment,[1] as well as the tarsal adhesive pads, used to walk on the underside of leaves.[2] Despite their size (less than 10 mm), the notorious colors make them easily recognizable.[3]

They prefer humid and lush habitats, and their reported diet is omnivorous.[2]
