Characteristics shared by the two orthopteran suborders, Caelifera and Ensifera, are the mouthparts adapted for biting and chewing, the modified prothorax, the hind legs modified for jumping, the wing shape and venation, and the sound-producing stridulatory organs. (wikipedia.org)
The Caelifera have a predominantly tropical distribution (as with most Orthoptera ) with fewer species known from temperate climate zones. (scientificlib.com)
