Hibiscus inhabitants

I thought I'd focus on beasties that inhabit particular plants from now on (not too rigidly of course). These ones inhabit or visit Hibiscus splendens (need to double check the ID and get a photo as well).

I believe this is a Katydid rather than a Grasshopper due to the very long antennae.


I haven't confidently IDed this caterpillar yet but think it might be in the genus Amonis, which is a moth.

I'm assuming this is a later instar (molt). There were about 6 caterpillars when I looked a few days ago but there appear to be only 2 left.
