Scudderia sp.
This nymph measures around 1/2" long.
Tropical dry forest in NW Costa Rica 6 months into the 6 month dry season.
Lovely spotting, Larry! Here's one I found:

The nymphs are extremely difficult to identify.
The colors are indeed similar but this is a typical coloration of a katydid nymph. I have some in my area that are nearly identical.
Emma, Gator, and Cindy I thought it might have been a nymph of this spotting:

Might check the Katydid species. Their antenna are longer than their bodies.
