A work of art! Excellent spotting of this wonderful critter.
OK. I made the change. 1st & 2nd picture are switched. 1st picture is now the defensive position for this katydid.
That 2nd pic is incredible. Should be #1.
Picture #2 is amazing!
Beautiful animal!
amazing second pic!!!!! :)
I love the second picture much better.
I love the second photo! Maybe it will be better to put it as the first image..
Another wonderful spotting! Could you please crop the first photo so that it only shows the katydid? Thanks!
Amazing. Beautiful.
Stunning second image. Great spotting!
