Meadow Katydid - Orchelimum nigripes
Chicago, Illinois, USA
October 4, 2005
Size: Large
I found this kadydid back in october. I thought I had posted it but I can seem to find my post.. So my question I had then still remains today.
What is the difference between the Orchelimum pulchellum and the nigripes?

I will include a closeup of the undertail..

If anyone here can explain the main ID seperating points of the two it would be much appricated,
Thank you,
Gehan G.
