Handsome Meadow Katydid - Orchelimum pulchellum (female, ~20 mm body length)
Location: Durham NC (USA)
Male is coming up behind her on another plant stem. I had hoped to get a photo of them mating, but the female flew off when I got too close with my phone.

Male kept on singing for a minute after female decamped. Got a sound recording with phone, though there was wind. Sound and sonogram included.
