What is this bug?

[QUOTE="Chuck, post: 101080, member: 944"] It's a katydid. They are like a mixture of a grasshopper and cricket. They do minor damage to citrus by chewing on and scaring the young fruits. Usually they are a solitary insect and not worth spraying for. Just pick him and squish him. On the pictures that show black on the leaves just remove the leaves as they seem to be very few. It is either a fungus or it is honeydew.. On the leaf that is split that looks like physical damage, probably by mishandling or maybe the wind. I would keep a close watch on the tree, especially the underside of the leaves as this is the time of year for aphids and other nasties to emerge. If you start to see insects in numbers spray with spinosad. [/QUOTE]
