User's notes
This is a green katydid with a very round, green belly, and very long wings (photo 2). The wings have an off-white / pale fawn line marking the lower edge (photo 1), and a pale green line running from front to back in the centre of each wing. Its ‘feet’ are green as is the whole body, apart from the brown-yellow eyes, and the brown-yellow lines delineate the dorsal side margins of the thorax only (photo 1). They do not joining to combine over the abdomen in a single line as at sightings 4672686 & 4672688. Instead there is a very thin dark green line delineating the dorsal side margins over the abdomen. These too, merge together but become a brown-green line continuing to the end of the wings, (photo 1). The legs, too, generally look to be a more brown-green than the green of the body, except for the upper part of the rear pair of legs, which are bright green. It has long antennae which look to be longer than the wings, as do the antennae at sightings 4672686 & 4672688 & 4672696.
