Abstract
Gryllusbimaculatus De Geer, 1773 is the one of the subtropical and tropical species which is distributed in the different parts of the world. It is used as the live food for many amphibians and reptiles. Certainly, its nutritional data also attracted many farm developers and researchers. It has several essential composition where15 g of its powder contains cholesterol (35mg), sodium (55mg), total carbohydrate ( <1g), dietary fiber ( <1g), protein (8g), calcium (20mg), iron (167mg) and potassium (150mg). In addition to this, this species is used for the neurological and toxicity studies in many scientific works.
At the amidst, this writing has the reporting of this species from temperate forest of Sikkim Himalaya, which was not reported earlier
Keywords: Cricket, Gryllusbimaculatus, Sikkim Himalaya.
