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.
Description by Charles DeGeer. | ||||
