The eastern striped cricket (Miogryllus saussurei) is a cricket in the genus Miogryllus. It is native to the Eastern US.
A small, cricket with distinctive head markings. The head is large, globe-shaped, and shining black. Pale lines encircle the eyes and extend to the rear margin of the head; four short longitudinal pale lines are also located at the rear of the occiput. The head markings are similar to those of Velarifictorus micado but lacks the continuous white line that connects the antennal bases in that species. The head is also less globose in micado and its palps are white rather than yellowish with a dusky tip as in verticalis.
