This is a good find. Helen Cross has beenj finding nymphs at Kambah(reported on CNM) that I have also seen but we have not yet found adults.

Hopefully I will see adults in this location later in the summer.

Easily done. The trick is to look at the wingpads, In all grasshoppers and katydids the wing buds of instars 4 & r are truned upwards (reflexed) so that the hind wing covers the forewing. This is more obcious in fully winged species but is still visible in Brachypterous species like Phaulacridium. & genus 18.
