Green Bug #874903

Asked June 27, 2024, 1:59 AM EDT

This rather large, bright green bug appears to be the culprit that is eating holes in my strawberry leaves. What is it? I don't see any cornicles for an aphid.

This appears to be an angleworm katydid nymph. an immature form of the insect. They rarely do serious harm to plants.
