Redlegged grasshopper and straight-lanced meadow katydid. 8-acre field at SW corner of New Lane and Edgartown Road, West Tisbury, MA 8/12/24
There were a fair number of common meadow katydids around and I shot some pictures of them. I took a shot of this katydid almost as an afterthought and only when I got home did I find it was a new katydid species for my prairie bug/spider species collection. Females have a straight ovipositor which exceeds body length. The species was named for the distinct ovipositor of the female.
