leaf mimic Katydid

Pycnopalpa bicordata

Notes:

Most nights there was one or two of these leaf mimics at the light sheet at Pico Bonito. If it was in the foliage instead of the white sheet, I'd never see it. And it looks like a pair of green hearts on top of the thorax.

Very interesting. Second picture looks like Irish clovers on its back.
