Normally I would move this image to forbesi vs nigricornis

The two species each vary in the amount of black - thus it is not possible to ID them from photos only. However, The abdominal segments on this individual are very black. The two black-horned tree crickets I was able to observe first hand also had very black segments; whereas the forbesi I find here have mahogany tinted segments - no matter how deep the black is on their head, pronotum and limbs.

This could still be O. forbesi with very dark abdominal segments, but let's put it in O. nigricornis for now.
