Tettigonia uridissima
grasshopper-type body. green with a brownish back. long antenna. long legs in "v" shape, brown straight-back tail. longish face.
found on butterfly bush....blends in with foliage and stems.
very similar to grasshopper.
J: I just ran this through the Encyclopedia of Life and it sure looks like it's a Short-winged Katydid. I have another spotting up that's still unidentified but had been suggesed that it was a katydid nymph which makes the classification logical. Do I just change the common and scientific names, and add the new reference?
Thanks for the ID, Mark! This is another new resident for the butterfly bush; it's getting to be a real busy place.
