Sadly I don't, I only found it on one day. When I get some extra time I'm going to try to figure out the species and see if I can figure out what the adult looks like, so I'll keep you updated on that.

By any chance do you have a picture of the adult, i'm interested what they look like.

It's definitely a nymph; I zoomed in on the original file on my computer and there are wing pads on its back. You can see them in the picture here, they end right by the third pair of legs.

These are common by me in Summer, but is the one shown an adult or a nymph? They seem very small for katydids which are usually large.
