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.

Oops. My mistake.

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.
