Fork-tailed Bush Katydids in Howard Co., Maryland (9/16/2013). Details from Richard Orr: "These Fork-tailed Katydids have just finished mating. The female (on the bottom) is still carrying the external part of the spermatophore left by the male (the white sack at the end of her abdomen). The large gelatinous portion of the spermatophore showing is left as food for the female and not used in reproduction." Photo by Richard Orr. (MBP list)
