Variable Balloon-winged Katydid

Description:

I was quite surprised by these little Katydids as they hopped onto the stem of the flowers I was photographing and once they realised I was there, they flattened their bodies against the stem and moved to the opposite side to hide. It was interesting to see both the male and female together here. I must go back and see if I can get better photos. Both the male and female look as if they are nymphs. Adult males have wings and adult females have very long ovipositors.
