Lesser Meadow Katydid

Description:

Two small katydids with absurdly long antenna.

Habitat:

Lesser meadow katydids live in meadows and grasslands. These are in a suburban backyard in lawn that has grown to approximately 6 inches high. A grassy meadow area (3ft high grasses) is nearby)

Notes:

The stinger looking organ is actually an ovipositor, used to lay eggs in grass stems. I'd assumed while taking the pictures that these were Straight-lance Meadow Katydids, but when I checked online it seems those have much longer ovipositors, so I am not sure which ones these are.
