Green Bush-cricket nymph, Tettigonia viridissima
Back from a very enjoyable trip to Somerset with @naturetrek.bsky.social. Highlight for me were the Great Green Bush-crickets, Tettigonia viridissima. Even the nymphs look like they could take your arm off if you annoyed them.
#Tettigoniidae
What a beauty! So pleased to see them. #green #katydid #katydids #bushcricket #Tettigoniidae #longhornedgrasshopper
A nymph of Tettigonia viridissima (the green bush-cricket, a bright green grasshopper), on an almost bloomed flower of golden-fleece (Urospermum dalechampii), whose petals are externally violet in color but inside have the typical yellow color of many Asteraceae
When I ride my MTB, I always have to stop myself from taking my camera with me, otherwise I make too many stops to photograph little critters that I find along the way and I almost never get on the bike.

Katydid with lime-green and black/gray markings that resemble a clump of flat lichen that's fallen on a leaf - precisely what I thought it was until I noticed that it had moved UP the leaf!
Very skinny green stick insect with brown legs and brown body bands resting against a tree trunk with moss.
Mossy green katydid with fantastical bumps and spines that is a near perfect match for the moss it is resting on and eating.
Elegant leafy green praying mantid with lobed extensions on its legs and tan wings.
#Katydids #Tettigoniidae were the #crypsis kings along w/ the #stick #insects #Phasmidae. Many #walkingsticks were also brightly colored, which is characteristic of species that taste bad. That association may need to be learned by a predator following an unpleasant meal! #Ecuador #Sumaco
A light green, dark green, and white katydid with patterned wings and long antennae standing on wooden beam. This species' markings make it almost invisible against the lichen that typically covers tree trunks in its Ecuadorian forest habitat.

“I’m #lichen this #mimic!” This #Markia sp. #Katydid is a classic example of #insect #mimicry; it is #camouflaged as the lichen that’s abundant in its forest habitat. Finding one away from a lichen background @ a light trap was the only way I spotted this beauty. #Tettigoniidae #WildSumacoLodge

I was at a nearby temple when a katydid landed on my arm. It seemed curious and unafraid and allowed me to get close up with my camera. It hung out for a while, nibbling my pink sweater and grooming itself. #Tettigoniidae #LifeInAThaiForest
A small katydid resting on a white background. It has a brown body, head and legs but its wings are greener. It looks like a half dying leaf.

I adore this little #katydid ☺️
A perfect little mimic of a leaf beginning to decay 🍃🍂
