Microcentrum rombifolium
Commonly known as the Katydid, related to the grasshopper and cricket family. It was named Katydid as its rasping sounds like Katy did! Katy did! It's funny right?! It's a great angle wing leaf mimic and spotting it is quite difficult. It's a great way to escape from the view of its predators!
Spotted in the village of thailavaram. A once fertile agricultural land with large water bodies close by and has many eucalyptus trees.
These are quite friendly insects and are harmless. The pattern on its wing is so realistic compared to a natural leaf. It's a beauty to behold the intricacies of its wings.
