Arggh...I just typed a massive response here, and inadvertently erased all but one letter!
Shorter version ;) -- yes, all the O. forbesi and O. nigricornis images need to be reviewed to be moved based on location alone. [Even that is guessing since ranges are expanding and tree crickets don't get as much attention as other bugs thus their exact ranges are uncertain].
I just learned this summer from a researcher who spent 3 summers collecting tree crickets for her PhD - that these 2 species can ONLY be ID'd by song pulse rates at given temperatures. I have also started a separate area to put any O. forbesi vs O. nigricornis that both occur in an area.
I'm hoping to do this over the winter.
