Katydid nymph - Microcentrum
Salt Lake, Salt Lake County, Utah, USA
June 3, 2009
Size: 4 mm
The length of the antennae on this tiny thing is incredible. The body and antennae look different than the tiny golden Scudder's Bush Katydids I've found. Is there any way to know what kind it is? We have lots of tree crickets here.
