Either katydids or speckled bush-crickets. I always forget which one is which.

Good shots!

They look like Katydids...sort of. I have never seen a bush cricket, so my vote is Katydid. Really like #1 and #3. Nice work.

Thanks both for the comments. It looks like 2 votes for Katydids so I'll go with that. :-)

Lovely shots. Think Bush crickets (UK) and Katydids (US) are the same thing- just language differences as usual.

Lovely shots of a cute little insect.

When I saw your location I was going to say it was a katydid. If you would like to see the UK version, here is a speckled bush cricket, they are just as cute as your katydids :D

Brilliant shots BTW!!!
