Field Notes

Description:

Green, blends in perfectly if on leaves. Size difference between the male and the female is quite a bit.

Habitat:

Garden in urban residential area. Just after a short spell of rain.

Notes:

Or is it Acrida sp?
In Atractomorpha, the males ride on the female's back long before the actual mating...this is why I thought this may be an Atractomorpha sp.
