Can anyone help with these, from near Cavtat Croatia? A field guide to Orthoptera from eastern Europe is much needed! There will probably be more.

I saw the second species on the coast in Albania last week + tentatively identified it as Schmidt's Marbled Bush-cricket, Eupholidoptera shmidtii.

That's supported by someone else who has looked at my photo.

I'm informed by someone at the RES that thes are Chabrier’s bush-cricket, Eupholidoptera chabrieri. Presumably still nymphs.

Was going to be my suggestion, they often look nothing at all like the adults.

On our first trip to South Africa, we saw lots of nymphs and it took a while to sort them.
