Katydid nymph

Description:

A young green-colored katydid still without wings, trying to blend in the surrounding by aligning itself with the midrib of a large palm leaf where it's long thin body is specially designed to adapt with this.

Habitat:

On Zingiberales leaves, possibly lives on other plants too in Rainforest Discovery Center (RDC), Sandakan, Sabah.

Notes:

>>>Map accuracy : 200m diameter. Many insects use this technique (method) to camouflage themselves in the middle of the leaf. Here is another example - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/170...
