A female Phaneroptera sp. of katydid (or bush-cricket) from the subfamily Phaneropterinae, which contains some of the largest winged katydid species. Like the grasshoppers they physically resemble, they feed on plants, but they live solitary lives and do not swarm like grasshoppers do, and as such are not considered to be pests.Photo: Muhammad Mahdi Karim
