Field Notes

Description:

It was green
It has six legs
It has two antennas
And it looks like a leaf
It's belly is white
It hops
It has a light brown mouth
It has almost white tips on legs
It is about 2 inches long

Habitat:

I found it on my back porch
I live in Bethesda Maryland
I saw it at 8:30 pm

Notes:

It crawled and jumped around
It climbed on the side of my house
A spider tried to attack it and it jumped down right next to me

Looks like a Katydid of some kind, perhaps in the subfamily Phaneropterinae http://bugguide.net/node/view/6288
