Katydid in New Brunswick - Scudderia curvicauda - Female
Hanwell, York County, New Brunswick, Canada
September 17, 2012
Size: 2.5 cm
This large katydid was found at the edge of a sphagnum bog south of Fredericton. It flew in front of me and landed at the top of a dead grass stem. I submitted this to Birding NB and was urged to submit it to BG for positive id.

Nice find, Chris!!
It is great to get more Orthopteroids from NB on here. I remember this one from last year. Let's hope 2013 is even more productive...
