Please do! I've already seen some similar spottings in both of our collections, I'm sure we'll find even more soon.
SarahWhitt
haha! I have seen some scary bugs in my garden over the years....now that I know you, I'll be sure to take pics & ask you to help me identify them!
Latimeria
Yeah, they're pretty tough to differentiate sometimes. Katydids usually have long antennae, while grasshoppers have shorter ones. To tell you the truth, when I first saw one last summer, I thought it was some kind of assassin bug.
SarahWhitt
Thank you Latimeria....He just looked like a juvenile grasshopper to me.
Latimeria
That's actually a katydid nymph on the flower, genus Scudderia. Perhaps the species furcata, but I can't be sure.
