We found this guy on our Satsuma, blending in pretty well. This critter is an insect, called as Katydid.
I think this is a fantastic camouflage.
This remarkable creature is expert at blending in, often looking exactly like green leaves or twigs.
These insects are type of grasshoppers. Katydid has longer (slender and elongated) antennae than grasshoppers.
They are often found on various plants, especially in areas with abundant vegetation, including fruit trees.
On the Satsuma trees, Katydids feed on:
- leaves
- flowers
- and sometimes fruits.
Nature is amazing. I wonder how many earlier generations died because they were not the perfect color.
