This awesomely amazing, cryptic Katydid (Tettigonidae) blends in so well... well... you can see how well! Click on the picture to see more... She was eating the seeds of some Morning Glory (Ipomoea) plants in July. She is not fully mature yet - her wings haven't fully grown in.

Watch the video pages for a video of a male Katydid singing for love - coming soon!
