User's notes

This is a green katydid with a very round, but still green, belly, and no discernible wings. Its ‘feet’ are brown (photo 1) and the VERY long antennae appear green, though more a green-brown in photo 3. The eyes are whitish. Possibly the same sp as at sighting 4672688 & 4672688, but maybe a juvenile, if so? This is different to those sightings in that the belly and the eyes are not yellow. It is also different to an otherwise similar looking katydid at sighting 4672790 which is all green and has no yellow dorsal lines, just 2 green-brown lines on the side margins of the thorax.
