User's notes

This is a green katydid with a very round yellow belly, and a yellow line starting from behind each eye, delineating its front dorsal section till they join to form 1 thinning dorsal line over the abdomen. The eyes also are yellow, and the VERY long antennae, and the rear leg spines, are black. There is a similar yellow line along the lowest edge of the fore wing. Possibly the same sp as at sighting 4672688, but different to those at sightings 4672711 & 4672757 which do not have yellow bellies, and different to sighting 4672790 which is all green and has no yellow dorsal line, just 2 green-brown lines on the side margins of the thorax.
