Round-Headed Katydid - Amblycorypha rotundifolia - Male
Hampshire County, Massachusetts, USA

A visitor to our porch lights tonight.

I've read that this genus is going through some changes, but keying it out at Singing Insects of North America put it in the rotoundifolia group.

Yes, it’s in the rotoundifolia group. The only species found in Massachusetts is Rattler Round-winged Katydid - Amblycorypha rotoundifolia. Nice pictures!
