Its wings extend further past the body than those of its two larger, near identical relatives, giving this smaller katydid its long winged name.

This katydid occurs in both green and brown forms and is smaller than its two closely related look alikes, with wings that reach noticeably further past the tip of the abdomen.
Nymphs start out feeding on soft plant material such as lettuce and carrot leaves, then add other insects to their diet as they mature, and males sing only in bright, sunny weather among wetland margins and tall grass.
