A Hong Kong Bush-Cricket or Katydid - Disguised as a leaf

From Hong Kong last week came this photograph of a grasshopper bush-cricket or katydid. And no, we don't know which species it is.


Thanks all those who responded to say that this is a katydid or bush-cricket, genus Eimaea of the family Tettigoniidae. But, as an excuse for those us from a school of zoology where everything below a fish was a plant, they are also sometimes called long-horned grasshoppers.
