I've added a close-up image of antennae.
Is this a Broad-winged (Oecanthus latipennis)?

 
Yes, a male Broad-winged tree cricket
The wide wings and red on the head extending up the antennae makes this ID possible. Only O. latipennis has red with no black on the antennae.

 
Thanks,
I appreciate the species confirmation and gender ID.

 
Thanks,
Ilona, I had no idea what it was!
