4th instar Two-spotted tree cricket - Neoxabea bipunctata
Lake Forest, Lake County, Illinois, USA
July 9, 2011
Size: 11mm
At the final step of molting into stage 4. Note that the femurs are well flexed - I presume the claws are well dug in. The four other legs are rhythmically 'shoved' downward in the air to assist forward movement.
