Some Katydid - Orchelimum minor -

Marlton, Burlington County, New Jersey, USA

I'm not sure what subfamily this belongs in. I wonder if it might be a lesser pine katydid
Orchelimum minor Bruner 1891, only because I live in the NJ pine barrens.

I think that the ovipositor seemed to match pretty well.
