Phylogenomic data are enhancing insect phylogenetics, particularly through target enrichment methods. This study introduces an Orthoptera-specific target enrichment (OR-TE) probe set developed from 80 transcriptomes, targeting 1828 loci with diverse evolutionary rates. The probe set was validated by generating phylogenomic data from 36 previously unstudied orthopteran species, capturing an average of 1037 loci and clarifying phylogenetic relationships. Documentation of the probe design and bioinformatics process aims to promote broader adoption of this tool.
