Field Notes

Description:

One of the coolest leaf katydids I've ever seen. Unfortunately, its mimicry doesn't work too well when it's hanging out on a bathroom wall.

Habitat:

tropical rainforest

Notes:

I spotted this in the washroom on my last morning in Kubah national park. Not 100% sure on the ID and I welcome any suggestions.

Thanks Sergio, Larry, Luis and bayucca for the ID. I've added that I think it is a Phyllomimini species but not sure, in my notes.
bayucca
Tettigoniidae, Pseudophyllinae. Might be Phyllomimini. I am on the road, so, no link for one, just a start for search...
