Katydid, green bug

I'm glad my ears are not on my legs ... I'm deaf enough with them on my head ! :D

Well photographed ... amazing ...

Hywel...
that green bug has better knees than yours ...

It's also got more of them TT lol :o))

Lol... :o)))

LOL :-)

Your photos are great, Klahanie. Especially the bugs! I like katydids and cicadas! I don't think we have katydids but I know that we have a type of cicada, which, as children, we used to call sawyerbugs.

I have seen your photo Lori. Good looking fellas aren't they?

This bug is my worst enemy in the garden. It eats everything. It can grow very large to 2 inches (5cm) long. I still have quite a few of them in my front and back yards.

:-) I think they look interesting but would not like to deal with infestation either.

Yes, interesting but destructive bug! The Malaysian variety grows to 4 or 5 inches long. YUCK! There's some at the San Diego Zoo.

I have a special way to kill this bug; however, I shall not say. My previous neighbor taught it to me. lol!

very informative :-)

:-)

The face only mother can love :-)

That's funny! They are scary-looking when you see large ones 2 to 3" (5 to 8 cm) long...like I get in my yard.

They're nightmares, alright. They eat everything in sight...and that's all year. Kadydids even eat my plumeria tree leaves, which no other bugs eat.
