Oecanthinae instar from Dogwood twig - Oecanthus forbesi

Oecanthinae instar from Dogwood twig - Oecanthus forbesi
Pleasant Prairie, Kenosha County, Wisconsin, USA
July 15, 2008
Size: 7mm
One of the oecanthinae that emerged from the dogwood twig now has visible antennal markings. Approximate age - 29 days. Appears to be either a young nigricornis, quadripunctatus, or prairie. (I can't rule out Forbes since I don't have a description of their antennal markings.)

Note
After work by researchers who analyzed songs of tree crickets in multiple states, it is now generally accepted that greenish tree crickets with dark on the antennae, head, pronotum and/or limbs - that are west of Ohio - are Forbes' tree crickets - not Black-horned.

tree cricket
hi :) Eric Eaton said I should get ahold of you to find out about my latest find here in Rock Creek, a tree cricket.

Wondering what you can tell me about it? Eric said it was a nymph, what instar, and is it possible to narrow down to species?

Thanks for any info you can provide :)

Hi Crystal
I added a comment to your image. Definitely Oecanthus, but can't say which species without seeing antennal markings or hearing its song.
