PZ050068 I think it's a katydid nymph...

Have never seen one like this with brown on the back. Its body is about 5/8" long.
Bugguide.net tells me it's a Montezumina modesta, otherwise known as a modest katydid.

On second look it may be starting to shed its exoskeleton, and I just noticed it's misisng a leg.

Excellent sharp close up. Think its in metamorphosis or something. V
