1) what type of legs do they have?
2) what are their "ears"?
Orthoptera Gryllidae, with saltorial legs and ears on the front legs?

Yup, though I think it's saltatorial? Anyway, your turn!

Just a quick question, but if meloidae secrete cantharidin, why do soldier beetles have the scientific name of cantharidae?
Edit : looked it up, apparently soldier beetles also secrete it, so nevermind
