Not my speciality, but I would say male Oak Bush Cricket and female nymph Long-winged Conehead? |

Adam,
The first photo is actually an adult male Oak Bush-Cricket Meconema thalassinum
The second is not so easy, Its definately a female Conehead nymph, its very difficult to be exact, but looking at the image I'd lean slightly towards it being Short-winged. |

No worries Adam, Coneheads are not easy, especially as nymphs! |
