    I'm sure family Trigonidiidae, sub-family Trigonidiinae, sword-tail crickets, (also commonly known as winged bush crickets or trigs). Posted 4 years ago

    I think that Ruth got it correct. Check around that family also use the common name ,as it does sometimes help. You might be lucky to get it possibly to genus level.
    It is a interesting cricket.     Posted 4 years ago
