Romaleidae, Romaleinae, Romaleini, Taeniopoda sp. and could be Taeniopoda reticulata, nymph. Another candidate might be Taeniopoda varipennis, but I still tend to Reticulata. https://www.flickr.com/photos/38984611@N03/7170721013/ http://eol.org/pages/965328/media http://eol.org/data_objects/29210758 http://orthoptera.speciesfile.org/common/basic/Taxa.aspx?TaxonNameID=1115956 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/11497056
