Another katydid (tettigoniidae)… perhaps the last of a little while.  We discovered this individual resting in this position; I wonder if it’s listening for calls?

At least I think this is another long-horned orthopteran.  There are several families in the tropics of Orthopterans that I don’t know, so it could be something entirely different. This individual has a short-horned grasshopper appearance (Acrididae), but extremely long antennae, which is a characteristic of the tettigonids (i.e., katydids).  The tympana location differs between the two families too: it should be on the tibia of the fore-legs in tettigonids as seen here.

Juvenile female leaf-mimicking katydid (Tettigoniidae).  Females have the large, sword-like, ovipositor at the end of their abdomen, and adults have full wings that cover the entire body.

I also ran into this, which I took in another part of Costa Rica a few years ago.

Found another katydid (Tettigoniidae) with spermatophores/nuptial gifts present, as I mentioned observing here!

The little white bubbles at the tip of this female’s abdomen (about halfway down the length of the wings; there are two, but only one is visible on this shot), can contain various amounts carbohydrates and proteins as a gift from a mate along with sperm.
