Black-horned Tree Cricket (Oecanthus nigricornis) © christopherbonis (iNaturalist)
Contrary to its name, the Black-horned Tree Cricket does not live in trees. Rather, they are found in vegetation lower to the ground. Look for them on a variety of plants and weeds in brushy fields and roadsides, as well as bramble thickets, and on plants such as Goldenrod, thistles and tall grasses.
