A bush cricket (katydid) nymph in early evening light. Since these crickets have very long antennae, I tried creating a 'scape to accomodate them.
The nymph form can be identified by the absence of wings. The wings later appear as buds or stubs (will post another image to show this), gradually growing back until they completely cover the abdomen or extend well beyond it.

Thanks, C&C welcome.
