Achurum carinatum
3/4" long stickbug?
Rainforest
I suspect this is not Achurum carinatum, whose distribution is limited to southeastern United States; seehttp://orthoptera.speciesfile.org/Common...This is more likely to be Omura congrua, which is found in northern South America; seehttp://orthoptera.speciesfile.org/Common...The colour ranges from light brown to green in different individuals, and females have a wider body than males.
Ur welcome Karen :)
Thank you Agnes - it looks like a match!
Looks like the Longheaded Toothpick Grasshopper - Achurum carinatum (http://bugguide.net/node/view/390110), but I am not sure if this is the correct species name for your region.
Thanks Jacob & Stephen!
some sort of katydid or grasshopper?
It is a type of horned grasshopper. Not sure of the species. Beautiful find!
