Moved

Moved from smooth-legged tree crickets. This is a male Two-spotted Tree Cricket. The dark reddish brown color with yellowish--legs is unmistakable. When the tree cricket emerges from its final exoskeleton into adulthood, the wings will initially be compressed -- but will open up (much like a butterfly) and will be full-sized.

I didn't think the species would be ID'd.

It is a male nymph in the last instar,

and yes a Tree Cricket, but I'm not certain which species. The wings will be fully developed and quite different looking after the next molt.

tree cricket

The wings don't seem developed. I'll move it to tree crickets.

i'm no expert but i know for sure that great many orthopterans retain brachypterous or even apterous condition as adults [dunno if this is true for any tree crickets, though]
