female katydid nymph

Description:

Also known as a long-horned grasshopper or a bush cricket, members of the Family Tettigonidae which contains more than 6,400 species. They are more closely related to crickets than to (short-horned) grasshoppers. They can be distinguished from grasshoppers by the length of their antennae which may exceed their own body length, while grasshoppers' antennae are always relatively short and thickened. This individual is a female nymph and she's missing a hind leg.

Habitat:

Spotted on ruby leaf (Aernanthera brasiliana) in a large semi-urban yard & garden adjacent to a disturbed patch of remnant forest.

Notes:

Consulted http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tettigoniid...
