Green katydid grasshopper

In keeping with Halloween, I thought this fearsome looking katydid would be just the ticket. Head on, it looks a lot more menacing than it does from the side. I snapped this photo right before nightfall as the katydid was emerging from the shadows in a rose.

This little green gymnast is a fine example of Caedicia simplex (Common Katydid) . I hunted it all over my overgrown garden in Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia, on a dull summer day, trying to get a shot when it stopped crawling around, struck this pose and looked right at my lens.

This little fella made getting a shot nearly impossible as he preferred to jump on my face rather than sit still. After 3 hours shooting I hope you like the image. / Shot with the

This is a Lily in my flower garden, and I walked upon it to take a picture, and there sat this Katydid. What a lovely shot it turned out to be. I was surprised it let me get that close to it. I did use my macro setting as well though…it brought out more of the details. / /

This frog’s eyes were too big for his belly… The katydid was almost as big is he was… Katydid did survive…. / Rock Hollow Lodge, Arcadia, Oklahoma

As the bell rang for round 1, the sellout crowd was clearly rooting for the heavy underdog, ” The Green Katydid”. But this “winner-eat-all” Texas Deathmatch was over before it began .Displaying some fancy footwork and blinding speed , the Mantis quickly got the Katydid in a vicelike headlock. Although the Katydid’s corner claimed / the blood was the result of an intentional headbutt, the Mantis was declared the clear winner. Afterwards, he spoke of taking some well-deserved time off, but vowed to return next fall to defend his title. Stay tuned !!!

As I was photographing this mantis, this katydid suddenly landed about 6 inches away. For about 30 seconds, they faced off, sizing each other up. Shockingly, not only did the katydid NOT back down, but he actually began slowly inching menacingly towards the mantis. B-I-G mistake ! In a nanosecond, the mantis lurched / forward , then grabbed & tightly gripped the katydid’s legs and head. This photo was / taken at the moment of 1st impact! The mantis goes right for the thorax and draws first blood. Nature in action !

The Subject: / This very fierce looking little member of the Grasshopper family is a very fine specimen of Caedicia simplex (Common Garden Katydid – Nymph) . The insect was very small and is identified as a nymph due to the immature wing buds. / I just love their eyes! / It was sitting on the fading flowers of a Montbretia plant and was probably partly to blame for some of the damage done to the petals. The Location: / My front garden in Port Macquarie . The Making of Katy on a Montbretia: / It was an extremely hot and humid summer afternoon and my biggest problem in making this shot was the sweat that kept running into my eyes and onto my glasses. / There was no time to go for an elaborate set up as Katy could have hopped away at any moment so I bent down and used the camera’s screen to frame the shot. / The odd composition was brought about by the position of the Katydid’s very long antennea as I cropped to retain as much of them as I could. Works for me as it is just a bit “different”. / Fuji S9600: Super Macro, Manual settings of f/3.7 @ 1/50sec, ISO80, Manual focus, Pop-up flash at lowest power, hand held. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3.

A mantis pins down this katydid with his vise-tight grip and begins his gourmet feast by puncturing the abdominal wall, exposing the bloody, yet tasty internal organs !

Taken in the Mugla Region of Turkey with Sony Cybershot 17 July 2009. Unedited: cropped to meet Redbubble dimesions. / Our cat Linford made a gift of this …nice …. Information courtesy Wikipedia here Grasshoppers are insects of the suborder Caelifera in the order Orthoptera. To distinguish them from bush crickets or katydids, they are sometimes referred to as short-horned grasshoppers. Species that change colour and behaviour at high population densities are called locusts. Courtesy Wikimedia here The family Tettigoniidae, known in American English as katydids and in British English as bush-crickets, contains more than 6,400 species. It is part of the suborder Ensifera and the only family in the superfamily Tettigonioidea. They are also known as long-horned grasshoppers, although they are more closely related to crickets than to grasshoppers. Many tettigoniids exhibit mimicry and camouflage, commonly with shapes and colors similar to leaves. Tettigoniids may be distinguished from grasshoppers by the length of their filamentous antennae, which may exceed their own body length, while grasshoppers’ antennae are always relatively short and thickened. The males of tettigoniids have sound-producing organs (via stridulation) located on the hind angles of their front wings. In some species females are also capable of stridulation. There are about 255 species in North America, but the majority of species live in the tropical regions of the world. The diet of tettigoniids includes leaves, flowers, bark, and seeds, but many species are exclusively predatory, feeding on other insects, snails or even small vertebrates such as snakes and lizards. Some are also considered pests by commercial crop growers and are sprayed to limit growth. Large tettigoniids can inflict a painful bite or pinch if handled but seldom break the skin. The males provide a nuptial gift for the females in the form of a spermatophylax, a nutritious body produced with the males’ ejaculate. The eggs of tettigoniids are typically oval shaped and laid in rows on the host plant. My Images Do Not Belong To The Public Domain. All images are copyright © taiche. All Rights Reserved.

I took this shot while hiking in central Texas. The goal was to show you the intricate patterns on his exoskeleton. Hope you like. INFORMATION: / The family Tettigoniidae, known in American English as katydids and in British English as bush-crickets, contains more than 6,400 species. It is part of the suborder Ensifera and the only family in the superfamily Tettigonoidea.

Tettigoniids may be distinguished from grasshoppers by the length of their antennae, which may exceed their own body length, while grasshoppers’ antennae are always relatively short. The name “katydid” comes from the sound produced by species of the North American genus Pterophylla (literally “winged leaf”). The males of katydids have sound-producing organs (via stridulation) located on the hind angles of their front wings, which in some species produce a sound thought to resemble the words “Katy did, Katy didn’t”, hence the name. In some species females are also capable of stridulation. There are about 255 species in North America, but the majority of species live in the tropical regions of the world.

I am hopeless with these! Is it a katydid or a grasshopper? I always get it wrong! Well this little kritter was on my patio doors so i put it on some grass and had to grab the camera! Unfortunately as I still don’t have a macro lens and use a macro screw on filter, focal length is very limited! Nikon D40 18-55mm + macro screw on filter.

This Katydid showed up on my deck here near the middle of November. We have had very mild weather so far this year but the Katydid was very slow moving and obviously near the end of its life. It is still a beautiful and unique insect. / / This is dedicated to my friend Marleia Main who does such awesome macro photography of insects.
