Finally found some unhatched ones! 1mm grid. Shaped a bit like a kidney bean with a seam along the length. I'll update if they hatch.

@MichaelMulvaney @RogerF they hatched and are katydids! I tried hatching these a few times over the past year and didn't know what insect to expect. I'll get better photos - is there anything in particular I need to capture to get a species ID?
