Orthoptera nymph - Meconema thalassinum

Orthoptera nymph - Meconema thalassinum
Newton, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA
July 1, 2008
Found in a flower at dusk.

My size calculation is coming out inconsistent, but it's definitely less than 10mm head to abdomen. I'll need to go out tomorrow and measure the flower if it matters.

Meconema thalassinum
An immature drumming katydid. It's a European species established in the north east and north west and apparently nowhere in between.
