They were always showing up on our drink glasses

Tell me about it! They seem to be everywhere, and with subtle and sometimes dramatic differences.

We saw several different katydids in a recent Costa Rica trip

I suspected it was a nymph; thanks for the confirmation. I'll keep looking.
Latimeria
Judging from the banded antennae and the small horn between the eyes, it looks like a nymph in the genus Scudderia, a bush katydid. I'm not sure of the Central American species or other genera that might be similar, however, so consider this a tentative ID.
