Project Noah Nature School
A fantastically colored katydid (nymph). Rather more common in this location than when I first spotted them in December 2011 http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/797...
Spotted on vegetation along a survey transect in secondary coastal lowland mixed freshwater swamp forest/sago swamp forest.
Similar to these unidentified-to-species spottings also from Papua http://www.flickr.com/photos/thirnbeck/3... and http://travel.mongabay.com/indonesia/ima...
