: Yes, they have muscles.  Per , "The interior of the thorax houses the muscles that control the wings and legs."  Also see the detailed description in .  Presumably the anonymous user from over a decade ago isn't going to come back for this answer, but I suppose it's a valid point as to whether Orthoptera should go into more detail than "with hindlegs elongated for jumping".  --Dan Harkless (talk) 05:12, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

message: I feel like the phylogeny should show superfamilies rather than a select number of families and subfamilies for some of them.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by DSWebb (talk • contribs) 17:43, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  The oddly-titled "Phylogenetics" section contains only a cladogram which goes only to superfamily level. If you're referring to the "Classification" section then fine, prune away. It's uncited, and says nothing about phylogeny, unless you suppose that taxonomy reflects ancestry: hm, or perhaps ha. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:02, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for your edits and agree - in fact, the whole Classification section can perhaps simply be deleted here, since we have the { {Orthoptera|1} } bar at the bottom and all the superfamilies are also listed in the taxobox. Roy Bateman (talk) 12:13, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I woulds say combine the classification and phylogeny sections with better referencing, but never remove simply because a nav bar is present.  The nav bars should not be relied on and should be deleted before inline prose sections.--Kevmin § 14:15, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
