Several katydids exhibit this unusual colour form and one (a Paracedicia adult)) is on the cover of Dave Rentz's book on the katydids

Is this the same individual as 4635970, about which there has been much discussion? In which case it should be conservatively identified as Narea sp. until an actual specimen is collected and compared with specimens in the National Insect Collection. NB I have seen Connor's web site and determinations.
