Microcentrum rhombifolium
Although the adults of the Common Garden Katydid are always green, the nymphs take on the colour of whatever they have been eating. Nymphs may be bright pink if they have been feeding on red roses, or yellow if they have been feeding on Cassia flowers. The colour may remain for several moults.
The Common Garden Katydid lives in urban areas, forests and woodlands.
