That Pamphagis is for sure. Some kind of Paranocaracris or something close. The female. And, most likely, imago.

Tettigonia sp.

Tell me the name of the view.

Thank you in advance.

Not Saga sp. is it?..

This is Tettigonia caudata 100%.

Tettigonia, of course... I don't remember the range of T. viridissima, but the fact that there are no black spots on the hind thighs suggests it. However, the rear legs are photographed very indistinctly. In addition, T. caudata mistshenkoi lives practically without spots in the Tien Shan Mountains and, apparently, in the mountains of the neighboring part of Kazakhstan.

P.S. Judging by the Agricultural Atlas, T. viridissima should also be there.

Both species are found there, judging by the photos of people who post a large number of photos on the Internet. Judging by the agro-atlas, yes, there is a viridissima. But Viridissim's eyes were the whitest I'd ever seen. Only caudates. Then look at the front and second legs. They also have black specks. And on the hips of the black dots as I understand it are not visible. But if you look closely at the right thigh, closer to the knee, you can see them very faintly. These specks can be stronger or less pronounced. And finally, although it doesn't matter so much anymore, the belly is definitely from Caudata. I caught both species this summer and specifically compared them.
Caudata's belly was just like the one in this picture. Viridissima's shape was completely different (and neither with white, but with yellow stripes, although this does not mean anything).
Some more facts.
The head is massive. The ovipositor, if you look closely, is quite long.

Yeah, I could see the spots , but they were on my left leg, not my right. It seems to be caudata

1. SNAPPING FIREFLY Psophus
stridulus L.
2. BLUE-WINGED FILLY
Oedipoda coerulescens L.
In the Red Book of the Ministry of Defense have the 3rd and 2nd category of rarity, respectively. In shatursky district-not guarded, as far as I remember.

Montenegro, June-July, southern slope of the mountain, available in large numbers, squeak, while mostly found higher up the slope, among grass and rare shrubs but not quite in the rocks,

the bulk of grasshoppers/locusts more similar to those found in our forests are located lower down the slope, in thickets of shrubs

is this a phase of metamorphosis, or a separate species?

Similar to Acrometopa - but I can't guarantee it.

The fact that Acrometopa is correct. I would like to specify the form.

Jacobson (1905) had a definitive tableau. I don't know how good it is, though. In my opinion, this genus was not considered irrelevant for the USSR by Bey-Bienko in "Fauna". I'll check it out later. If I can spare the time , I'll copy the definition table from Jacobson (although I can't guarantee it).

The choice is between A. servillea and A. syriaca.
In the "Fauna" of Beibienko, this genus is considered; in males, it is necessary to look at the genital plate: if it is dissected more than to the middle, then A. servillea, if it is less, then A. syriaca.

Here is a definitive plate of species of the genus Acrometopa from Kurt Harz:

Thanks, but I couldn't use it. To do this, you need to know two things: the language and terminology. I'm not good at either

A few questions:

1 - Asiotmethis muricatus/tauricus
2 - Oecanthus pellucens/turanicus
3 - Phaneroptera falcata/gracilis
4 - Leptophyes albovittata

But what about this "animal"?
I understand that the group is complex and the region is not the Moscow region, but it can ... This view is now the background in the settled and steppe stations, and right in the city.

gumenuk: Chorthippus sp., possibly Ch. apricarius. Larva of the 3rd (penultimate) age.

BUTTERFLY: Chrysochraon dispar, adult female.

Evk: The band is really very complex - Chorthippus from the biguttulus / brunneus band.

Can snapshots of details (angles, floors) help? Or does the appearance not work?

The shape of the male elytra can distinguish the true Ch. biguttulus from others. The rest - different authors have different opinions. I have none - because I didn't travel around the country much. Recording songs could also help. But the trouble is that often 2 or even 3 species live side by side in the same place.

In my humble experience, you only need to listen to this group (we have 3 main types-they are easily distinguished). And the females are generally a dark forest...

Well, if you rely on the work of Savitsky V. Yu. (I sent it to you), then there is no typical biguttulus or brunneus in our region! Ch. mollis and Ch. maritimus are listed as close relatives from this group. This couple looks, as I understand it, does not differ in any way, except for the song.
In addition, the genus includes Chorthippus macrocerus, Chorthippus paralellus, Chorthippus karelini, and Chorthippus dichrous for Volgograd. Here, in fact, is the whole selection.

The choice is less Than All those listed in the penultimate sentence (from macrocerus to dichrous inclusive), you can safely throw away - they are very different. As for Savitsky's work, it is, of course, true, but "it is incorrect to say that elephants are not found near St. Petersburg, we must say that they are not found" ((c) E. A. Ninburg)... In fact, even in our North-West, brunneus and biguttulus have somewhat different phenologies during relatively short summers (although adults overlap in time, brunneus is winged much earlier). I wouldn't be at all surprised if they are even more spaced in time in the south, and some biguttulus here generally takes wing by September. Benediktov (2005) cites, for example, Ch. porphyropterus from the same biguttulus/brunneus group from the Volga region, and Ch. biguttulus from the Altai. All this is supported by bioacoustic data. So figure it out here

I agree! Savitsky worked b. h. for the first half of the season - and what's going on here in August-October ?.. Let's leave the question open for now. Thanks!

Well, I'll put the male Chorthippus to the female posted earlier. It may help you determine!
Volgograd region, tipchakovo-zlakovo-sagebrush steppe on sandy soil, 17.10.2009.

If I saw such a thing in a field in the North-West of Russia, I would not hesitate to attribute it to biguttulus because of the wide costal field. In any case, the beast does not look like either mollis, brunneus, or miramae. But I do not know porphyropterus and maritimus by habit. in addition, it is not a fact that the female and the male belong to the same species. Here brunneus and biguttulus often sit and sing side by side. Because of this, I can't even instruct my students to do work on the color variability of these species (and I don't undertake it myself, which I very much regret). And if you still have the opportunity-try to record a song!

Well, here, really, I can't vouch for the fact that a female and a male of the same species were taken ... And with the song this year is unlikely. They don't sing much anymore - you rarely hear a short trill. Even here it's already autumn . Maybe I'll get ready for next year. Curious though!

Here is this horse I have on the song recorded as brunneus. MO, early September. But the pronotum confuses something...

How would you like to listen to this song? Can you post it somewhere?
