Description
editEneoptera surinamensis is a tropical forest cricket, which lives in open areas of rain forest[3] Like its fellow members of the subfamily Eneopterinae, E. surinamensis eat leaves, flowers and fruits of living plants.[2] They deposit their eggs in pith, bark, or soft wood of plant stems.
Ecology
editBecause of the species feeding on leaves, flowers and fruits of living plants, they occasionally damage plants of value to humans.[2]
