...based on the orange on the head and lack of red on the proximal antennae. Broad-winged tree crickets have dark red on the antennae beyond the pedicel.



While these photos look like the wings are very broad -- the Snowy Tree Cricket also has quite wide wings. I HAVE NOT PERSONALLY inspected an O. latipennis, but photos I have seen seem to show the widest part of the wings are a >3:1 size ratio as opposed to O. fultoni which is closer to a 2.5:1 ratio. (This is not a scientific description -- just my own observations). Also, this TC has VERY pale limbs and antennae -- which is consistent with Snowy Tree Cricket. A photo of the antennal markings on the first 2 antennal segments would be ideal to make an ID.

I so-o-o-o defer to the Tree Cricket Goddess:-) LOL! No, seriously, you point out some very interesting differences. I'll have to go check my own specimens from Cincinnati now....

I don't claim to be an expert....YET ! If I SEEM to know quite a bit about Oecanthinae -- it's probably a combination of sheer obsession and the fact that there are only 17 species to study !
