User's notes

Not sure if this is a katydid or a grasshopper. It is all green except for the pale yellow-brown antennae which appear flat and are much thicker at their base and narrow to a point (photo 3). Some parts of the legs are also pale yellow-brown, being otherwise green. The eyes, too, are pale yellow-brown and there is a line on each side of the head which appears to start from the back of the head and passes the eye in line with the antennae at rest. The wings are longer than the abdomen. Where the legs join the body appears to be more yellow than green.
