This image was made a few months ago and just rediscovered. It was on a rose bush. Does anyone have an idea what it is.

C & C welcome.

Roy this looks like some sort of true bug (Hemipteran). It would help if you indicated what country, state/province etc. you photographed it in.

Sure Roy i love these little guys its a Katydid nymph (young).

Like the colors,BG, and details but I would love to see more of the plant and the the bottom antenna.

Lovely hot of this nymph!
I like how you have chosen a panorama-crop for this photograph!
I do feel posting this bigger as the current 62 KB would improve this as there are a lot of JPEG artifacts in the current image.

Greetings,
