여치 [=돼지여치]
Gampsocleis sedakovii obscura (Walker 1869)
=Gampsocleis obscura hokusenensis Mori 1933

몸길이는 33-45 ㎜이며 대체로 녹색이고 체격이 뚱뚱하다. 앞날개는 보통 배끝을 넘지 않으며 흑점렬 무늬가 분명하다. 긴날개여치에 비해 앞가슴등판은 폭이 넓다. 수컷은 주로 낮에 가시덤불 사이에 숨어서 '찌르르, 찌르르' 하고 연속적으로 운다. 암컷의 산란관은 아래로 약하게 굽으며 긴날개여치에 비해 비교적 짧고 끝은 절단형이다. 성충이 되면서 강한 육식성을 나타낸다.
