    I've just searched through over 3,000 orthopteran species and can't find a match. There's an entomologist who may be able to help though. His name is Piotr Naskrecki: https://farrell.oeb.harvard.edu/people/piotr-naskrecki Posted 5 years ago

      Thank you! I too browsed through endless lists of orthoptera without anything even closely matching. Just sent Piotr an email. Posted 5 years ago
