Short-legged Sheild-back Katydid

He was on the front step when I came home from the supermarket today. So the camera came out before the groceries were put away!

Quite a creature, looks like king of the hill!

Cool low down capture Ann. His colour blends in quite nicely.

[Margo]

good capture

[Lynda McG]

Yikes - great capture!

[Joyce]

Not sure I'd want him on my front doorstep but a great shot Ann

[Nina Ganci]

Yikes! Think I would have done the same
Well spotted

Thank you Louis, Sally, Margo, Lynda, Joyce, Nina, Alta and Wendy! He is not as large as this pov would lead you to believe. He's much smaller and I was expecting him to hop away at any moment. But I guess he didn't mind the paparazzi!

If there were sun I would say he is sunning himself. cool shot.

[alia_801]

Great spotting and capture!
Glad to hear that you got your priorities right too!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@bruni It was probably sunny enough for a katydid! Thank you Bruni!
@alia_801 Thanks Alia! LOL today I was spraying the flowers on the deck and discovered a Ladybug- forget the flowers! Out came the camera again!

It's not a pretty subject but this is a great shot.

@randystreat Thank you Kathy! Truly a face only his mother could love.
