Katydid Eggs on a Sycamore Twig - Microcentrum

Katydid Eggs on a Sycamore Twig - Microcentrum
Patuxent Wildlife Refuge, North Tract, Prince George's County, Maryland, USA
November 9, 2010
Size: egg string about 2 cm
Participants in my class on winter twig ID found these eggs on one of the twigs I had collected (Sycamore, Platanus occidentalis). Eggs laid in two parallel slits in the twig. The staff at University of Maryland Arboretum tell me that it is some type of katydid egg. The twig is now in my window box, I hope to see them hatch in the spring.
Habitat: young woods on roadside, moist soils, part sun

Microcentrum.
Has to be an Angular-winged Katydid at that latitude.
