Restless Bush Cricket

This is a new species for me. Found on an elephant ear leaf at White Rock lake. I was looking them up to see if there were any interesting facts. Ran across this info: females sometimes eat the male's forewings during mating. Hmmm, guess it still beats being a preying mantis male.
