Handsome Trig--dorsal
Description:
Phyllopalpus pulchellus - Red-headed Bush Cricket, also known as the Handsome Trig. The dorsal view is quite interesting, again showing the bold color pattern and the enlarged palps. The antennae are long and thin, except for near the body, where noticeably thickened. I might speculate that the thick areas of the antennae enhance the mimicry of a beetle by appearing to be the whole length of the antennae. You can see pretty well that one forewing is transparent and the other is dark--some images on BugGuide show this well.
