My duaghter woke me up stating that there was a green leperchuan in her room I went to look and found this green bug. I am unsure as to what kind of bug it is and have been searching the web and can't find it anywhere. If anyone can tell me a bit about it I would certainly appreciate it. Thank you very much in advance. My e-mail is rachel_cole73@msn.com please contact me if you know what this bug is.....

Female drumming katydid.
This image reprsents a transcontinental range extension for this species, which was introduced from Europe. It is currently known only from some New England states, and one corner of Pennsylvania. This record should be reported to provincial agricultural agents.
