Still not the most common views in the North-West:

Barbitistes constrictus:
1) Leningrad region, within the village limits. Vyritsa.
2) Novgorod region, Borovichsky district, road between the village. Abrosimovka and the village. Sutoki-Ryadok (parallel to the railway line Uglovka-Borovichi).
3) Novgorod region, Okulovsky district, Yablonovka station on the Moscow-SPb railway line.

Stethophyma grossum:
1) Pskov region, Ostrovsky district, on the Vorontsovo-Vrev road, southern outskirts of the village of Astratovo.
2) Novgorod region, Valdai district, Iversky Monastery (an island on Lake Valdai).

Oedipoda caerulescens:
1) - see #1188.
2) almost there-next to the village. Dummies (somewhere 1 km east of the 1st point).

Chorthippus pullus:
1) Novgorod region, Okulovsky district, okr. der. Kolosovo (south of the Okulovka-Uglovka road).
2) Novgorod region, Okulovsky district, Puzyrevo-Borovno railway station.

All my data (including #1188), with the exception of points for B. constrictus from the Novgorod region, is based on materials from the summer of 2010. Data for B. constrictus from the Novgorod region are about 10 years old.

The only thing that can be said is neither assimilis nor bimaculatus. Assimilis is a New World fauna species that is as relevant to Indonesia as a guinea pig or opossum. Maybe imported, but that's unlikely. And on bimaculatus, it "does not pull" even in general color (and more, sorry, in such pictures and do not see). It might not even be the genus Gryllus - there are plenty of genera in the tropics. In addition, they may not even be able to identify female crickets in ZINA. Moreover, it is the genus Gryllus that is rather bleak from the point of view of definition. For example, due to the unavailability of the standard material (and, of course, the lack of those who want to thoroughly understand the group), it is still not really clear who is actually bred in the culture under the nickname "banana cricket" (there are at least two applicants-assimilis and argentinus, and most likely it is not both sexes are available.

It seemed to me that this is a different subfamily, not Gryllinae, but I will not "voice" it, because nothing is visible in the photo.
