Trigonidium cicindeloides is a species of sword-tail cricket widespread in Africa, southern Europe, Asia, and Arabia. During mating season males make a sound created by vibrating the last two joints of their maxillary palpi. This is either to attract females for mating or to drive off other males.Ingrisch, S.
