Nymph - fork tailed brush katydid

absolutely gorgeous little nymph - I'm unsure if it's a katydid or a cricket (or even grasshopper? though those extra long antenna make this seem less likely) at this point. - A little more research and I've found my ID. There are two that are hard to tell apart -but fortunately for me, only one occurs in this area :)

I keep having to look up the difference myself, but what stuck is that grasshoppers indeed have short antennae, other than that this category of species is so hard to identify. Posted 7 years ago
