Species

The Bermuda subtropical conifer forests are home to various species of Orthoptera that are common along the East Coast of the United States and most likely reached the archipelago naturally by rafting or being blown off-course while flying. These include the American bird grasshopper (Schistocerca americana), Carolina grasshopper (Dissosteira carolina), southern green-striped grasshopper (Chortophaga australior), spotted-wing grasshopper (Orphulella pelidna), pasture grasshopper (Orphulella speciosa), greater angle-wing katydid (Microcentrum rhombifolium), slender meadow katydid (Conocephalus fasciatus), common meadow katydid (Orchelimum vulgare), broad-tipped conehead katydid (Neoconocephalus triops), round-tipped conehead katydid (Neoconocephalus retusus), and De Geer's short-tailed cricket (Anurogryllus muticus).

The Bermuda beach cricket (Gryllus bermudensis) is endemic to the ecoregion.
