Long-horned Grasshopper - Metrioptera roeselii - Female
DNR Sturgeon River Sloughs Wildlife Area, Baraga County, Michigan, USA
July 30, 2013
I saw this Long-horned Grasshopper in a wetland at 5:00 p.m. The wings look short so I'm not sure if it's still a nymph.
There were a lot of blackberries growing along the two-track. The location is in the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan
near Lake Superior. Would anyone be able to identify it for me and also let me know if it's a nymph or an adult.

Roesel's katydid
She looks to be an adult by the size of the ovipositor. Wings can be long or short in this species for both males and females. David will confirm.
