Keyacris scurra

The grasshopper or katydid

Keyacris scurra is insektsart, first described by Rehn, J.A.G. In 1952.

Grasshoppers, katydids, and crickets hear and sing. A species may be diagnosed by the song or by a mountain valley.

An insect has six legs and, in winged forms, one or two pairs of wings. Most named species in this catalog are known from a type series and a locality, not from a popular field guide.

Range and habitat

Keyacris scurra is recorded from Australia.

GBIF currently lists 712 occurrence points. Those points follow where people logged the taxon — museum drawers and surveys included — not a closed range boundary.

Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.

Life history

Song, season, and a named mountain are how many of these insects were split. A silent valley after fire is an empty record.

Life history follows the order: complete metamorphosis in moths and beetles, nymphs in grasshoppers and bugs. This page does not invent a host plant that no source named.

In crisis

Keyacris scurra is Endangered on this catalog because that is the IUCN category stored on Wikidata. Confirm the official criteria and any later count on iucnredlist.org.
