RE: Nature Identification Thread #23- Now Paying out Steem Basic Income Memberships to Participants!
I think so, too, only that the Wikipedia for Barbitistes serricauda also has similar pictures. I tried to find a website that would show me the two side-by-side, but no luck. There are so many insects in the world that it is hard to get a good description without diving into scientific papers.
Indeed, most of the photos found on web seem to be of the same specie. However, I found a german website (http://www.orthoptera.ch/arten/item/barbitistes-obtusus) where the Barbitistes crickets are very detailed presented. Not the photos but the information. Reading the articles, I really believe we have a Barbitistes obtusus. Serricauda is kind of hard to find so close to civilization.
This is why it is always important to check in all the languages you can! I often check websites in three or four languages when I am doing research. Thanks for the reminder!
