Dear bugman:
I don’t have much to go on here. All I know is the photo is from Botswana. Not even sure what part of the country. Thanks in advance.

Shield-Back Katydid from Botswana
Hi Alex,
This is a Shield-Backed Katydid in the subfamily Tettigoniinae. Other than that, we would need the input of someone familiar with the species in Botswana. Some Shield-Backed Katydids are carnivorous, but most are plant eaters.
BTW, I love your site. You guys are what the web is supposed to be.

This is a Armoured Ground Cricket (bradyporidae). I think Acanthoplus discoidalis.
