About the Striped Ground Cricket

Allonemobius fasciatus, commonly known as the striped ground cricket, is an omnivorous species of cricket that belongs to the subfamily Nemobiinae. A. fasciatus is studied in depth in evolutionary biology because of the species's ability to hybridize with another Allonemobius species, A. socius.

Depending where A. fasciatus resides, traits such a body size can differ. Within North America, there are various hybrid zones, such as in New Jersey, where A. fasciatus has the ability to hybridize with a close relative, A. socius.

A. fasciatus is considered to inhabit northern regions of North America, whereas A. socius inhabits southern regions. In areas where topography can vary, like in mountain regions, A. fasciatus is believed to be found at higher elevations, whereas A. socius is believed to be found in lower elevations.
