Australia. They are also known as Narrow Bush Crickets and Graceful Silent

Cricket of genus Aphonoides are
usually pale in colour, like this one. They do not have the stridulatory
apparatus, i.e., they do not make any sound like other crickets and katydids
do. Most of them live on leaves in rainforests, although we found this one in
Eucalypt Forest.

- Mid summer in Karawatha Forest, we found this Tree Cricket hiding under
leaf during the day. It walked away slowly when we disturbed. It is pale brown
in colour. It has very long antenna, longer than twice the body length.
