NARROW-WINGED TREE CRICKET - O. niveus

   Described and named by De Geer in 1773

        DeGeer originally named this species "Gryllus niveus"  -- but in or before 1888, it was determined to be a member of the Oecanthus genus.

The tree cricket is just barely visible at the bottom of the leaves in the center of the screen -- however, his song is loud and clear.  Narrow-winged tree crickets sing in short bursts of trills with short pauses of silence between bursts.

This tree cricket was  hanging upside down while singing -- a common position for O. niveus.
