User's notes

This is a green katydid with a very round yellow belly, and a yellow line starting from behind each eye, delineating its front dorsal section till they join to form 1 thinning dorsal line over the abdomen, where they merge into a yellow-brown colour. The eyes also are yellow and there is a pale line along the lowest edge of the fore wing. It has VERY long green antennae (photo 3). Possibly the same sp as at sighting 4672686, but different to those at sightings 4672711 & 4672757 which do not have yellow bellies, and sighting 4672790 which is all green and has no yellow dorsal lines, just 2 green-brown lines on the side margins of the thorax.
