Hi there,
My dad took this picture when he visited his sister in Spain last Autumn. We have looked all over to find out what it is but no luck. Can you help us out? We look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Carolyn,
In English speaking Europe, Shield-Back Katydids are called Wart-Biters. This specimen is a female.

Update: (07/03/2008) Katydid IDs from Piotr Naskrecki
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: Spanish saddle-backed katydid – Uromenus sp.
