#131 - Striped Tree Cricket

I was asked if I knew what this one was, and suggested Tree Cricket. Happily for my ego, I was right. Oecanthus rufescens a.k.a. the Striped Tree Cricket, is an Australian relative of the Snowy Tree Cricket.
One distinctive feature of the genus appears to the criss-crossing veins on their wings, when they're folded - they certainly caught my attention.
