Sickle-bearing Bush-cricket

Sickle-bearing Bush-cricket (Phaneroptera falcata) belong to family Tettigoniidae (Katydids or Bush-crickets), subfamily Phaneropterinae. They are very similar to great green bush-crickets, but have slenderer bodies and longer hind pair of legs. In great green bush-cricket both wings are of the same length, while in the Sickle-bearing Bush-cricket the top wing is shorter. They have very long hind wings almost double the body length.
