Plantago lanceolata
Recorded food plants of "G. pennsylvanicus" include smooth crabgrass ("Digitaria ischaemum"), lamb's quarters ("Chenopodium album"), English plantain ("Plantago lanceolata"), switchgrass ("Panicum virgatum"), common ragweed ("Ambrosia artemisiifolia") and chicory ("Cichorium intybus"). Even though they are a sizable cricket for North America they are preyed upon by everything from hawks to hornets.
