Moved from Tree Crickets. The dark strip on the head to pronotum, the yellowish head on the female, the dark antennae all point to Forbes' tree cricket.

Thanks, Bryan.
My goal is to make tree crickets in general as easily identifiable to the general public as ladybugs or ants!

Just found this comment and chuckled.
Maybe I shouldn't admit this as one of the guys trying to make ants web-accessible, but I'm sure you can do better than that. Ants are still really hard for most people, and way too many are undescribed!
