Please help me identify several pryamoptera from Ilovli, photos taken at the end of July.

And also, about your bear-on the territory of the former USSR, only 2 species are most often found-Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa (Linnaeus, 1758) and Gryllotalpa unispina Saussure, 1874. They are distinguished by the structure of the hind legs. If the hind legs are on top on the inner side with 4 -5 spines, with b. m. equal spaces between them, then this is Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa. If there are 2 - 3 spines and there is a large gap between the first and last, then this is Gryllotalpa unispina. Here, look at the photo:

PS: And locusts are migratory, it seems that in the herd phase.

And I'm in the past . For a long time I could not understand what kind it belongs to. But I was helped to determine by a very experienced specialist. How did you know it was Paracinema? Tell me, what brought you from Moscow to the city of Nikolaev?
I'm sorry, what kind of literature does that say?

I had no idea at first, but then I looked at Michael Chinery's book "Insects of Britain and Western Europe "(in my email form) and found a similar picture. There is also a description - what it looks like, size. It is also written that it cracks in flight, prefers wet meadows, is quite rare, but it is common in rice fields in Camargue (swampy area in the south of France), where it even harms a little.
And we went out of curiosity-we wanted to visit the glorious city! (My fellow student used to live there) Then we got to the Crimea. In General, a great trip came out! =)

... Michael Chinery "Insects of Britain and Western Europe" ...

Thank you, there is such a book on the web - I will definitely download it. What other literature sources on Orthoptera can you recommend?

By the way, judging by various articles on the Internet, this Paracinema ricolor is abundant in Africa.

Yeah, impressive! Here here you can view the distribution of this species on the world map, although it is not very accurate. This is for all three subspecies of Paracinema tricolor. Our subspecies is rather Paracinema tricolor bisignata (Charpentier, 1825), which is found in northern Africa and Europe, rather than the subspecies Paracinema tricolor tricolor (Thunberg, 1815), which is found in central and southern Africa.
