Moved
Moved from Long-horned Orthoptera. GREAT photo of a 5th stage male tree cricket. Defintitely in the rileyi species group - but cannot say with 100% certainty whether it is O. rileyi or O. fultoni. The surest way to separate them (aside from DNA analysis) is by the pulse rate of the male's song. The antennal markings on the 1st and 2d segment can often be helpful (snowy's 2d segment marking is usually larger than that on riley's)-- but they are not visible in these photos.
