Acheta domesticus

Distribution and occurrence. Acheta domesticus is a synanthrope species with a worldwide distribution nowadays. Its original distribution area was presumably comprised of northern Africa, southern Europe and southwest Asia, which is comparable to other members of the genus (Gorochov and Llorente 2001). On Socotra, only three recent records of this presumed species are known, two in the southern coastal area and one in Wadi Ayhaft (Fig. 133).
