Caedicia - Katydid nymph





When I was picking mulberries in our tree in the garden on Christmas day I saw this beauty between the leaves. I caught it in a jam jar to ask the insect group what it was, so it's a Caedicia, also called a common garden nymph. It's a cousin of the grasshopper and cricket. I put it back in the tree as it has plenty of leaves to munch on.
