Schizodactylidae is a
family of
orthopteran insects found in Asia and Africa, known as
dune crickets or
splay-footed crickets. They are usually found in desert and sandy areas. Some species are predatory, including
Schizodactylus inexpectatus. Detailed study has been investigated for one of the member of Schizodactylidae, S. inexpectatus, by G.Aydin.
T. B. Fletcher notes that one individual did not feed on any vegetable matter.
