Katydids, eggs and first instar nymphs- Tettigoniida Phaneropterinae microcentrum rhombifolium? - Microcentrum rhombifolium

Here's a photo of the eggs. I brought them into the house and spritzed them with water every few days. They just hatched and I don't know what to feed them. Hope they don't eat each other. I gave them some leaves.

Microcentrum rhombifolium
Now that Eric identified it as a Microcentrum, this automatically makes it a Greater Angle-wing Katydid (Microcentrum rhombifolium), the only species of Microcentrum in Utah.

What do they eat?
What do these guys normally eat as adults? Other smaller insects? or do they have a primary type of plant diet?

No question now, it is definitely Microcentrum. Very nice work, Nicky!
