Hi Ernst, nice species intro :o) One minor note though: I can't seem to find the ovipositor anywhere and it would seem to me that it wouldn't have enough space behind the cricket (due to the wall), so I'm thinking it would be rather saver to assume it's a male. Or did you see the ovipositor on some different image of the same critter? Cheers, Arp
