Africa Wild

your seems to be more hairy

The only "bark" stink bug I would know is Coenomorpha

The one from your link is Coenomorpha nervosa, but our bug is different

Amatonga or Pseudamatonga sp

I had been searching "Jerusalem cricket" for a ridiculous amount of time when I threw in the towel and posted it without any suggested IDs...then 18 MINUTES later, you come up with a possibility! Are you a WIZARD in disguise? Thanks for at least giving me some direction where I had NONE.

Here are some more grasshopper/crickets to be ID'd for the insect book. All taken in my garden in Randburg.

4. Two of the same insect, note the extremely long antennae.

This is a baby (nymph?) katydid. Can anyone take it further?

Conocephalus caudalis

females are wingless

Aren't all katydid nymphs wingless until the last instar(s)? Or is this a late stage instar that would have developed at least some vestiges of wings by now?

I was thinking if it not was an adult female
