I've searched and searched, trying to identify this female katydid nymph that I found on my rosemary this afternoon. The best I could do was to finally get down to two choices: Scudderia furcata, a female bush katydid, or S. curvicauda, the Curve-tailed bush katydid female. Even as adults, they say the two are difficult to tell apart unless they are found with a male. I'd surmise that they would be equally difficult to identify as nymphs - but I am a neophyte, as far as bugs are concerned, so I really have no idea! Can anyone help I.D. my katydid?

Thanks!
