Yes... you got right info.. Katydids are called matches to real leaf body structure in Green Bush crickets..!!

From the wiki info it seems that Katydid is just the US term for cricket but possibly more in the wider sense. I will change the info to just bush cricket as the would appear to be more specific.
I think Katydids have plain green colour and leaf mimic structure what is not match here...
Thanks Guys! I think you are right & it is some kind of bush cricket but apparently there are over 6,400 different species so this is probably as close as I am going to get unless I happen upon a photo of the same type!
