Conservationists found 200 new species of plants and animals during just two months of exploring the Nakanai and Muller mountains of Papua New Guinea in 2009. The expedition was coordinated by Conservation International in partnership with Papua New Guinea's Institute for Biological Research and A Rocha International. This is one of the new species, a pink-eyed katydid discovered in the Muller Range.
