Thanks for the link to the bug guide! Awesome!
Great spot!! I believe this is a Sheid-backed Katydid! But, as Ismael commented, it will be difficult to identify down to species without seeing the entire insect. http://bugguide.net/node/view/284 - Hope this helps :)
Hello. I've ticked the box that says "help me ID this spotting" and blanked the scientific name (removed "unknown") because by filling anything in Scientific name tricks the software into regarding the spotting as identified. With this blank, it is marked as not identified (if the references are also blank). Thanks
Ok thanks I switched it... Still working this out.
But, im saying that you should put grasshopper for the common name, and then change it when you find out.
Very nice spotting, unfortunatelly grasshopers are very hard to identify and is harder if we can't see the body :(, I hope an expert can help you soon :)
I know it's a grasshopper but there are tens of thousands of species... You know which one? Don't ruin this cool app for my 7 year old who wants to put in all his cool finds... No reason to be rude.
