Caedicia simplex
Green Katydid nymph spotted on a leaf. The nymphs' body can be in different colours, either green, greenish-brown or pink. It seems that the body colour adapts to their living environment.
The Maori name for the Green Katydid is "Kiki pounamu"
Looks similar to these spottings - not sure if you have these or something similar in NZ: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/158... and http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/783...
