It is generally accepted that green tree crickets with black on the antennae, head, pronotum and limbs west of Ohio are Oecanthus forbesi. In the far northeast of the U.S. or southeast of Canada these tree crickets have generally been found to be O. nigricornis. Oecanthus forbesi begins occurring the closer to Ohio they are found. The two species are indistinguishable by visual inspection. Some O. forbesi can have lots of deep black; some O. nigricornis can be entirely green -- and vice versa.
