Ok, clear. Thanks for the help, already much better knowing the family of course.

Sorry, I can't get closer than the family, even the genus would be very hard.

Thanks, I'm learning a ton here! Would you also be able to determine the exact species?

This is not actually a cricket, but a bush cricket or katydid. So are half right ;-)... The most imprtant criteria for katydid to separate from real crickets and grasshoppers are the VERY long antennae, which might even be longer than the whole body.
