Green Leaf Bug - Scudderia - female

Green Leaf Bug - Scudderia - Female
Galien, Berrien County, Michigan, USA
August 13, 2011
I've seen several of these bugs around my area. This one was perched on a flowering plant and I cannot tell if the protruding brown-ish thing on its bottom is really a part of its body or if it's a mating associated appendage or what. I'm curious as to what it really is though. It's quite cautious and didn't like me getting close and taking photos. :P

Maybe something close to this one:



The "brownish thing" is her ovipositor.
