Found this sort of Prehistoric Katydid in my bromeliads, gorgeous thing!!.never seen anything like it, huge back, huge tail, huge antennas.
I found a katydid that looks close to the one in my picture and it says it is a Undergrowth dead-leaf mimic Katydid, no scientific name and not even sure of the name?!

WOW!! Juan DiTrani, for sure it is one of those strange Katydids, I would love to know what scientific name it has...?!
