Hi;

My best guess is that this is some sort of cricket. I see them mostly in the springtime in central California.

Thanks

Katydid aka bush cricket, nymph, but I have no idea of the genus.

This is a pretty little critter! Beautiful image against the floral bokeh background.

Thank You.

I'm now pretty confident it is a Scudderia Furcata, based on photos at http://entomology.ifas.ufl.edu/walker/buzz/063dev.htm

I should probably confess that the bokeh was "helped along a bit" with a cs6 lens blur layer.
