Saved this Katydid while mowing the lawn. It was an excellent mimic of a blade of grass. Lost it several times before I finally caught it and moved it to safety.

Female.
Don't know which species this is, but may not be that difficult to determine....eventually:-) Moving to Neoconocephalus for now.
