What is it - Round Two?

[Heather Koch]

Went out to capture some macro shots and as I was walking in the door, I spotted this little guy under the door frame...

What is it?

Cricket?

It is a green critter. I can guarantee that.

 

[Heather Koch]

Yeah an interesting green critter...

 

[bogeyguy]

Bait!

 

[snerd]

Looks like some kind of morph between a grasshopper and an aphid of some sort. I can't believe the bug experts haven't chimed in yet!

I'd call it a Katydid.

 

[Heather Koch]

That is what it looks like it is... Good work!

From this side of the Atlantic, I would call it a Bush Cricket. You would call it a Katydid on your side of the pond. The giveaway features are the long antennae and the curved ovipositor at the back.

ovipostositor .... dictionary please .. if anything for pronounciation !!

An ovipositor is a device for depositing ova or eggs. It is the big curved thing at the back. This also tells you it is a female.

I have just noticed that I originally spelled ovipositor wrong. This was just my tablet trying to be clever. Now corrected

Interesting I would have thought the opposite... Bugs are different aren't they lol
