A photo of the face of a bright green katydid it's face and body tilted as it looks at the camera. The katydid's eyes are green with reddish-brown shading, the face around the mandibles is creamy yellow, most of the body and legs are a grass green. The Katydid's ears, located just below the first joint of each leg are visible as brown areas with a narrow dark line in the middle.

I love katydids, they are often as curious about be as I am about them and these sorts of awesome portraits are not uncommon 😻

The front of a bright green katydid. Its eyes are shades of green and brown and there are pale reddish markings on the mouthparts.

After looking at the news, I have decided that today calls for a #Katydid friend.

Pretty sure this one is the Lesser Angle-winged Katydid, #Microcentrum retinerve

A large angular winged green katydid rests just behind a green treefrog which is tucked vertically against the siding while a very small beetle with long antennae is just to its right.

It is day 3 and the frogs still have not realized I am not one of them...

Today's planned #invertefest moth Monday Moth Madness post has been delayed by an outbreak of Wifi gremlins 😮. So here is a Lesser Anglewing #Katydid ( #Microcentrum retinerve)on some Burnweed ( Erechtites hieraciifolius) instead!
