Hapithus agitator is a species of cricket in the genus Hapithus ("flightless bush crickets"), in the subfamily Hapithinae ("bush crickets"). A common name for it is "restless bush cricket". It is found in North America.[1][2][3][4]
Males of this species make calls not to attract females, like other similar organisms do; they themselves choose with whom to mate thanks to chemical interactions which occur when both individuals connect their antennas together.[1]
