Quite literally, the very first thing I did upon getting out of bed this morning, was grab my camera and go shoot a bug. On a bug. Or more to the point, on a Bug. Reena noticed this guy on the roof of our VW Beetle and pointed him out.
It is a katydid, a species more closely related to crickets than grasshoppers.
They are a familiar sound around here in the late summer, along with the cicadas. They are part of the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.
The second thing I did this morning was make and drink a cup of coffee!

ReplyDeleteOh I wanted to know if you have any cool shots of dancing in movement. I love the blurry look.
ReplyDeleteMy cat brought home one of these the other evening1
ReplyDeleteJust saw one of these last week, along a bladktop path springing with grasshoppers....this guy looked different! I love that you added the sound of the katydid ... I had to listen! I know I hear these around at the cabin (along with various frogs, birds) and will try to listen for it. thanks! marilyn
