Diapheromera femorata
These unusual insects are elongate and often 75 to 95 mm in length, not including the antennae. Females are brownish to brownish green; males are green.
Upper story areas of deciduous forests, mostly in oaks.
They may be quite common in some areas and are probably more common than expected but rarely seen due to their proclivity at living high in trees.
