Grasshoppers, Crickets, and Katydids Order OrthopteraObserver
malcolm_in_townsvilleDescription
On a walking track near Murray Falls. Wings are only buds but it's a robust insect, about 50 mm long. My first thought was Pyrgomorphidae, because of the coloring, body form and wing buds, but the antennae suggest it's a Katydid.
