Shield-Backed Katydid (female)

you guys are awesome

I'm pretty confident on the genus, but even experts have a tough time telling the species apart. There are probably even "cryptic" species that *look* identical to others but have different DNA.

This is a female katydid. She looks like one of the Shield-backed Katydids but I am not sure exactly which one. Here is a link that may help: http://bugguide.net/node/view/284/bgpage...
