Oecanthus argentinus
Male specimen. Front wings highly modified for sound production and broadcast. Hind wings used in flight are rolled up at rest. Frequently mistaken for lacewings.
Edge of weedy field in vacant area.
Tree crickets may sing in broad daylight as well as at night. ID to species is tentative. Need to see front of first two antennal segments to be certain; but, habitat is telling, too.
