Black-horned tree cricket (Oecanthus nigricornis)

Larose Forest

The male raises its wings when it sings. There is a small depression on its back near the top of the body. This is the so-called honey pot where the female may take a few sips as they are mating! Sustenance,I guess.

I noticed my tiny red headed bush cricket's wings spreading out, too, when it sang. Super shot and info.
