This katydid was almost impossible to see against the leaf, a great example of camouflage.

So it seems that Nevada has a serious issue with too many #MormonCrickets 😳 I counted over 100 hanging out by a picnic table!

I already posted variant of some of these, but I want to make sure they're in this thread. The katydid macro was taken by my husband @rickyromero.com because it was high up in it's enclosure (I am short).

“I’m #lichen this #mimic!” This #Markia sp. #Katydid is a classic example of #insect #mimicry; it is #camouflaged as the lichen that’s abundant in its forest habitat. Finding one away from a lichen background @ a light trap was the only way I spotted this beauty. #Tettigoniidae #WildSumacoLodge

The zebra blue is one of the many butterflies exotic to Hong Kong, its host plant is non-native.

So, the butterfly is rare, but very common in the heart of the urban Kowloon Park, where its host plant is found.

I am one of the first people to spot it in the park, and today I saw it again. #bugsky
