Hello folks Found this bush cricket in a lightly forested area of Buenos Aires Province in Argentina . Basking in the sun during the day . I'd say it's body is about 1.5 inches long . But it's antennae are HUGE . Longer than my forearm and hand ! Just to be able to narrow it down to a genus would be awesome ! Thanks x Attachments:

A female Conocephalinae Tettigoniid. Orthopterists could tell more.

Thanks , yeah . I know it's a bush cricket ( what they call a katydid in the US ) . Therefore from Tettigoniidae . But could do with narrowing it down further . Thanks though x

The shape of it seems to resemble Panoploscelis specularis, even if the color is a bit off. Maybe in the same genus?

I was wrong about Conocephalinae. It's Pseudophyllinae, but not Panoploscelis. It looks like the nymphs of Acanthodis sp., but I'm not sure.

Hello, it's a female Dasyscelus normalis (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1895).
