Katydid

Looking rather dapper dressed in their finest “I look like a leaf” attire a Katydid relaxes on a summer afternoon on a lichen covered rock.

He’s cute, and similar to our big green bush crickets!

  I agree that he is a cute bug. It is amazing how camouflaged he is.

  Hi Eliza this is a pretty cool looking insect and the first we have seen in our yard. Seems we have a few new ones this summer or we have just taken the time to look closer. Probably the latter.

They look like tattoo on a New Zealand maori. If only one can be so colour co-ordinated with such ease.

  Hi and thanks for the feedback as we really appreciate it. I feel the same way and in general that is the feeling I get with most macro photography of beetles, flies etc. I wonder what it is that has engrained the creepy factor in my brain about insects at times.

    You are very welcome! Me too… While I do love getting their photos – they can be quite scary…

      Yes, insects seem to trigger a very primal feeling of fear and fascination in most of us humans. Have a wonderful day and wishing you a great weekend.

Love his face! We don’t have them down here in northern NM. I found one once in Albuquerque, but he seemed lost. Nice shot.
