description

In the last few years a lot of new information has become available on Natula averni. As the common name we propose Reed cricket, because the species was found almost exclusively in reed beds. Recent findings show that this species is more abundant than previously thought. The species can easily be found with knowledge of distribution, habitat and song, all described in this publication. Nevertheless a lot of questions remain about the taxonomy. We hope that information gathered after this publication will help us to reveal the proper identity of reed crickets in Europe.
