Sorry about this confusion...

...two editors with much more taxonomy knowledge than I have fixed the Taxonomy list -- so this image is where it now should be.

Wow, great close-up

...with several key points. The most important being the milky white on the scape. Even though the ID depends on seeing the front of the base of the antennae to see the antennal markings, that white area makes this either Snowy or Riley's. I also now see a hint of orange in the pedicel and scape along with on the vertex of the head. What is interesting are those dark oval outlined markings on head and those milky areas in the head and the pronotum. I've never noticed those before -- then again, I've don't take photos that are this good! Welcome to BugGuide! Can't wait to see what other Oecanthinae photos you have in your archive.

Almost certainly

a Snowy Tree Cricket. I found adults of that species in the same location. I didn't upload the photos because there seems to already be scores of good Snowy images here - but I will upload a body shot and a nice closeup of the head and you can tell me what you think.

The more the....better.

Please don't be shy about submitting even what you consider "redundant" images. For one thing, we still don't have that many images from your region (Pacific Northwest), and there is always room for really outstanding work. We can always "frass" images later if there is consensus to do so.
