Long Beach (Google, OSM)

Description

Large green bush katydid on rose, Long Beach suburbs.

Based on location, it's most likely a Mexican bush katydid (Scudderia mexicana) or fork-tailed bush katydid
(Scudderia furcata).

But S. mexicana has a shorter body, and this clearly has the elongated body proportions of S. furcata.
