About how long was it? Resembles a pygmy locust (Tettrigidae), but I need to study it further. Unfortunately, I'm rather busy at the moment.

At that size, definitely a pygmy locust. In my haste, I misspelled the family name; it should be Tetrigidae. And as in so many other instances, I have been unable to locate a comprehensive treatment of this family in Colombia. These are very interesting creatures; I see an occasional specimen here.
