UnidentifiedGreenleaf Bug
Hello WTB
Found this monster leaf / Tree hopper (?) sitting on my car this morning in Phuket Thailand. I’m assuming it dropped out of the nearby tree where it was probably munching aphids. Looks like a giant pea-pod! Measured 5" body length and another 4" for the antenna – total 9" Can you tell me – What’s that bug! Please. Best regards and thanks for a great website.

Hi Peter,
This is some species of Katydid. Most are plant feeders though some are predatory.

Hi,
I have been looking at the page with unidentified katydids (Katydids 2), and thought I could help with some ID’s. From top to bottom they are: Thailand sylvan katydid – most likely Cratioma sp.
