Gum-leaf Katydid
Torbia viridissima
-37.8929, 145.313
Field Notes
Description:
This 50 mm long katydid had beautiful bluish-green fore wings with red inner margins and a venation resembling a gum-leaf. This legs had tinges of red resembling leaf stalks. Eyes were small and looked red in the night light.
Habitat:
Spotted under bright lights opposite a national park.
Notes:
This katydid looked a little different in colour to the one in my earlier spotting

I am unsure if the colour difference is to do with gender - need to research further.
Family: Tettigoniidae
