Description

Red-striped Austracris
Identified as Austracris basalis on Bowerbird by Matthew Connors: "Very similar to A. proxima, which I have found to be more common in Townsville. Distinguishable by the more distinct and fewer tegmen spots, higher number of spots on the pronotum, and male cerci being more falcate"
