Phyllopalpus pulchellus, known generally as the red headed bush cricket, handsome trig or handsome bush cricket, is a species of winged bush crickets, trigs in the family Gryllidae.[1][2][3][4] It is found in North America.[1][5]

During courtship, males first provide females a nuptial gift before transferring a larger spermatophore. If the female does not accept the nuptial gift (also known as a microspermatophore) the male will eat it.[6]
