Hi Arliss,
All we can say for sure is that it is a Katydid. The archival photo that you are trying to classify is quite beautiful. We have recently gotten some help with Katydid identification from Piotr Naskrecki and we will contact him to see if he is able to assist.
Hi Daniel,
I looked at the picture and the accompanying text. The faded label Aliss
mentions spelled “Mimetica incisa.” I believe, however, that the picture
shows a different species, Mimetica crenulata.
Cheers,
Piotr
