Family TETTIGONIIDAE
- This page contains pictures and information about the Unknown Bush Katydid Nymphs that we found in the
Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.
-
 - Nymph, body length 20mm
-
- We found this nymph many times but did not known their adult forms yet.
Next time if we found some last instars we may keep them to see what the
adults look like, We think it could be the Brisbane
Garden Katydid nymph but not exactly sure.

  - Body length 20mm
-
 - Brown form, body length 10mm
-
 
 - Body length 15mm, pictures taken during mid summer in Karawatha forest.
-
- The nymphs' body can be in different colours, either green, greenish-brown
or pink. It seems that that body colour adapted to their living environment.
-
 - Green form, body length 10mm
-
- Why some nymphs are pink in colour? Well, if you know some plants' new
shots are pink in colour. In pink is a well camouflage.
-
 - Greenish-brown form, body length 10mm
-
- However, the later instars were all in green colour, with brown pattern on
the back.
-
- Ping form, body length 10mm
