Has been making the rounds!
Turns out that it is a female Mediterranean Katydid.

Moved from Round-headed Katydids.

I suspect, but am not sure,
that this is a female Amblycorypha.

Katydid female.
This specimen has me puzzled. Suggests a bush katydid, but the wings are very narrow.....Update: This is a female of the "modest katydid," Montezumina modesta. Assuming your data is correct, it could potentially be a state record. I have collected this species in Cincinnati, Ohio, which is also apparently a state record, so perhaps the species is expanding its range. Nice find!
