Behaviour:
As far as is known, meconematines have two ways to communicate: some species produce substrate vibrations by a rapid drumming of one of the hind legs (Heller, 1988; Ragge & Reynolds, 1998), whereas most others make sound by tegminal stridulation (Naskrecki et al., 2008; Hemp & Heller, 2017). [1]
