Tettigoniidae, Phaneropterinae, Aegimia sp., either Aegimia elongata or Aegimia cultrifera. I can't separate te two species and others probably not as well, so we have a lot of questionable/non-trustable IDs on the web.

IDed as Elongata and most probably that one re-IDeed as Cultrifera by Piotr Naskrecki.

Please, tag and mention both species in the description section.

Maybe a Tettigoniid? I wonder if these guys ever get sampled by leaf eating things. They are just too leaf-like to believe!
