Katydid from Ecuador

A snap of a katydid I took in the Amazon (Ecuador) one night. I like the way it's aligned itself with the brown area of the green leaf for better camouflage. If anyone can suggest a better ID of the critter I'd appreciate it!

DMC-FZ30, 1/30, f/3.2, on camera flash, handheld, full frame

Crystal:
A sure unusual looking katydid which blends nicely with the leaf. Good control of plane of focus and sharp eyes and body. Wish the hind leg did not touch the left edge - maybe add a small strip of canvass? Nice exposure and control of flash which is not obvious. :toast:
