Here is a cute picture of a walking leaf...er...katdid that I saw this afternoon on the bug cloth in the lab clearing. The bug cloth is basically a big white sheet stapled into a frame that has a black light on at night to attract pretty insects. It works really well. Anyway, I see these little katydids all the time in the labs, but this guy is especially cute in his leaf mimicry -- he even has little veins, spots, and imperfections to mimic a real leaf. Amazing!
