. The comparison shows the different modifications seen in groups of orthopterans with legs adapted for digging. Although different, these groups share a pattern where the apical spurs of the fore tibiae take the form of dactyls or thickened spurs. Since they exhibit fossorial behavior, the effort required for digging is reflected in the first pair of legs being more robust than usual compared to related groups. That occurs in mole crickets, Jerusalem crickets, sandgropers, pygmy mole crickets, and modern field crickets, which are the most notable examples. That demonstrates that modifying the first pair of legs for digging has appeared multiple times and could be considered a convergence of different groups of orthopterans that share a subterranean lifestyle.

However, this first tarsomere can be similar in size to the third tarsomere or slightly longer, as can happen in different groups of crickets like
